Distancenet:inferring Evolutionary Distances Using A Neural Network

Phylogenetic distance estimation between taxa in a tree is critical for tree reconstruction. There exist several classical methods that are already established in the field of phylogenetics. However, these classical methods of distance estimation are not straightforward and their computation can be tedious. As neural networks show great success in pattern recognition tasks, it is reasonable tha…
