由于进化中的杂交事件，研究一组物种的不同基因可能会产生两种或更多相关但不同的物种系统发育树。在这种情况下，我们希望将这些树组合成一个具有最少杂交事件的网状网络。在本文中，我们开发了一个软件工具（名为UltraNet），用于从两个或多个系统发育树中构建最小网状网络的几个基本问题。我们的实验结果表明，对于这些问题，UltraNet比以前所有的工具都要快得多。
Due to hybridization events in evolution, studying different genes of a set of species may yield two or more related but different phylogenetic trees for the set of species. In this case, we want to combine the trees into a reticulate network with the fewest hybridization events. In this article, we develop a software tool (named UltraNet) for several fundamental problems related to the construction of minimum reticulate networks from two or more phylogenetic trees. Our experimental results show that UltraNet is much faster than all previous tools for these problems.
