On the complexity of non-binary tree reconciliation with endosymbiotic gene transfer

Abstract Reconciling a non-binary gene tree with a binary species tree can be done efficiently in the absence of horizontal gene transfers, but becomes NP-hard in the presence of gene transfers. Here, we focus on the special case of endosymbiotic gene transfers (EGT), i.e. transfers between the mito...
