AO_SCPLOWBSTRACTC_SCPLOWIn phylogenetics, a set of gene trees is often summarized by a consensus tree, such as the majority consensus, which is based on the set of all splits that are present in more than 50% of the input trees. A \"consensus network\" is obtained by lowering the threshold and considering all splits that are contained in 10% of the trees, say, and then computing the corresponding splits network. By construction and in practice, a consensus network usually shows the majority tree, extended by a number of rectangles that represent local rearrangements around internal nodes of the consensus tree. This may lead to the false conclusion that the input trees do not differ in a significant way because \"even a phylogenetic network\" does not display any large discrepancies. To harness the full potential of a phylogenetic network, we introduce the new concept of an anti-consensus network that aims at representing the largest interesting discrepancies found in a set of gene trees. We provide an efficient algorithm for computing an anti-consensus and illustrate its application using a set of gene trees from species and strains in the genus Kosakonia.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
