There are many methods for establishing a phylogeny available to researchers. Some of these are based on the mutational distance between ortholog sequences of DNA, and, from these, some are based on the analysis (presence/absence) of transposable elements in specific loci of ortholog sequences. We present a new approach: a method for inferring a phylogeny based on the mutational distance of transposable elements distributed along any segment of DNA. Our method doesnt require previously having ortholog segments of DNA from every organism. The method can be fully automated, not requiring any previous or posterior data analysis nor data preparation.

"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.
