Pairwise Compatibility Graphs

Pairwise Compatibility Graphs (Invited Talk)

Pairwise Compatibility Graphs (PCG) are graphs introduced in relation to the biological problem of reconstructing phylogenetic trees. Without demanding to be exhaustive, in this note we take a quick look at what is known in the literature for these graphs. The evolutionary history of a set of organisms is usually represented by a tree-like structure called phylogenetic tree, where the leaves are the known species and the internal nodes are the possible ancestors that might have led, through evolution, to this set of species.
