SUMMARY:PhD Research Proficiency Exam: Sanket Wagle
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Asymmetric Phylogenetic costs and their application in coevolut
 ionary analysisCoevolutionary studies aim to characterize symbiotic intera
 ctions by using phylogenetic distances to evaluate the topological discord
 ance between the phylogenies of interacting taxa. However\, traditional ph
 ylogenetic distances are not ideal for capturing asymmetrical relationship
 s that can arise from biological factors\, such as differences in evolutio
 nary rates\, or systematic factors\, such as variations in sampling. To ad
 dress these limitations\, we introduced the Asymmetric Cluster Affinity (A
 CA) and Asymmetric Cluster Support (ACS) costs to quantify and represent a
 symmetrical phylogenetic relationships.\n\nMore information at: https://ww
