Tree-child networks, one of the prominent network classes in phylogenetics, have been introduced for the purpose of modeling reticulate evolution. Recently, the first author together with Gittenberger and Mansouri (2019) showed that the number ${rm TC}_{ell,k}$ of tree-child networks with $ell$ leaves and $k$ reticulation vertices has the first-order asymptotics [ {rm TC}_{ell,k}sim c_kleft(frac{2}{e}right)^{ell}ell^{ell+2k-1},qquad (ellrightarrowinfty). ] Moreover, they also computed $c_k$ for $k=1,2,$ and $3$. In this short note, we give a second approach to the above result which is based on a recent (algorithmic) approach for the counting of tree-child networks due to Cardona and Zhang (2020). This second approach is also capable of giving a simple, closed-form expression for $c_k$ for all $kgeq 0$.
In previous work, we gave asymptotic counting results for the number of tree-child and normal networks with $k$ reticulation vertices and explicit exponential generating functions of the counting sequences for $k=1,2,3$. The purpose of this note is t
Reticulate evolutionary processes result in phylogenetic histories that cannot be modeled using a tree topology. Here, we apply methods from topological data analysis to molecular sequence data with reticulations. Using a simple example, we demonstra
We provide a simple characterization of simplicial complexes on few vertices that embed into the $d$-sphere. Namely, a simplicial complex on $d+3$ vertices embeds into the $d$-sphere if and only if its non-faces do not form an intersecting family. As
Rooted phylogenetic networks provide a more complete representation of the ancestral relationship between species than phylogenetic trees when reticulate evolutionary processes are at play. One way to reconstruct a phylogenetic network is to consider
In the study of rooted phylogenetic networks, analyzing the set of rooted phylogenetic trees that are embedded in such a network is a recurring task. From an algorithmic viewpoint, this analysis almost always requires an exhaustive search of a partic
