## Abstract Phylogenetic trees from multiple genes can be obtained in two fundamentally different ways. In one, gene sequences are concatenated into a superβgene alignment, which is then analyzed to generate the species tree. In the other, phylogenies are inferred separately from each gene, and a c
The processes of gene duplication, loss, and lineage sorting can result in incongruence between the phylogenies of genes and those of species. This incongruence complicates the task of inferring the latter from the former. We describe the use of reconciled trees to reconstruct the history of a gene
Paralogy is a pervasive problem in trying to use nuclear gene sequences to infer species phylogenies. One strategy for dealing with this problem is to infer species phylogenies from gene trees using reconciled trees, rather than directly from the sequences themselves. In this approach, the optimal s
