Show abstract
The tree of blobs of a species network shows only the tree-like aspects of relationships of taxa on a network, omitting information on network substructures where hybridization or other types of lateral transfer of genetic information occur. By isolating such regions of a network, inference of the tree of blobs can serve as a starting point for a more detailed investigation, or indicate the limit of what may be inferrable without additional assumptions. Building on our theoretical work on the identifiability of the tree of blobs from gene quartet distributions under the Network Multispecies Coalescent model, we develop an algorithm, TINNiK, for statistically consistent tree of blobs inference. We provide examples of its application to both simulated and empirical datasets, utilizing an implementation in the MSCquartets 2.0 R package. MSC Classification92D15, 92D20
