A complete theoretical framework for inferring horizontal gene transfers using partial order sets.

We present a method for detecting horizontal gene transfer (HGT) using partial orders (posets). The method requires a poset for each species/gene pair, where we have a set of species S, and a set of genes G. Given the posets, the method constructs a phylogenetic tree that is compatible with the set...
