Minimizing contradictions on circular order of phylogenic trees.

ABSTRACT: Distance-based approaches to phylogeny use estimations of the evolutionary distance between sequences to reconstruct an evolution tree. If the evolution can be represented by an X-tree, the different sequences can be ordered so that the distance matrix Yi, jn, representing the distance from a leaf n to the path (i, j), is perfectly ordered meaning that Yi, jn >or= Yi, kn and Yk, jn >or= Yk, in for i
