Visualizing Phylogenetic Trees: Algorithms And Visual Comparison Techniques

This thesis is about visualizing tree structured data. In particular, the emphasis is on visualizing the similarities and differences between pairs of trees. There are many research areas (such as biology, linguistics, chemistry and computer science) that use the tree as a basic data structure. The...

description This thesis is about visualizing tree structured data. In particular, the emphasis is on visualizing the similarities and differences between pairs of trees.
