Phylogenetic tree reconciliation is a general framework for investigating the mutual influence between related biological systems. It has many applications in medicine and biology.
Even if it is widely exploited, there are many cases in which it is necessary to slightly tune the definition, in order to apply it. For example, there are cases in which the involved phylogenetic trees are not binary, cases in which gene transfers are allowed and cases in which they are forbidden, cases in which the structure representing the first system is not a tree anymore and becomes a network, ans cases in which the structure corresponding to the second system can have cycles.
In this project, we would like to deeply study phylogenetic tree reconciliations, exactly delimiting the application scenarios, surveying the generalizations known in the literature and proposing new possibilities of use.
We are convinced that a systematic organization among all the alternative and very similar definitions would be strongly useful to the community.
Moreover, new solutions aiming at making the models more adherent to the real life will be very useful for a correct application of algorithms.
