A Practical Fixed-Parameter Algorithm for Constructing Tree-Child Networks from Multiple Binary Trees

We present the first fixed-parameter algorithm for constructing a tree-child phylogenetic network that displays an arbitrary number of binary input trees and has the minimum number of reticulations among all such networks. The algorithm uses the recently introduced framework of cherry picking sequen...
