Rooted phylogenetic trees can be represented as matrices in which the rows correspond to termini, and columns correspond to internal nodes ( elements of the n-tree). Parsimony analysis of such a matrix will fully recover the topology of the original tree. The maximum size of the represented matrix depends only on the number of termini in the tree; for a tree derived from molecular sequences, the represented matrix may be orders of magnitude smaller than the original data matrix. Representations of multiple trees ( which may or may not have identical M-mini) can readily be combined into a single matrix; columns of discrete-character-state data can be added and, if desired, weighted differentially. Parsimony analysis of the resulting composite matrix yields a hybrid supertree which typically provides greater resolution than conventional consensus trees. Use of this method is illustrated with examples involving multiple tRNA genes in organelles and multiple protein-coding genes in eukaryotes.
