Phylogenetic Decisiveness, New Ideas and Boundaries

Suppose we have a set X consisting of n taxa and we are given information from k loci from which to construct a phylogeny forX. Each locus offers information for only a fraction of the taxa. The question is whether this data suffices to construct a reliable phylogeny. The decisiveness problem expresses this question combinatorially. A precise characterization of decisiveness is known and it has proven recently that the problem is Np-Complete.
