Reconstruction of Phylogenetic Networks: An algorithm for deconstructing and reconstructing Level-2 Binary Networks based on their distances

Van Iersel, Moulton, and Murakami (2020) proved that a level-2 binary phylogenetic network can be uniquely reconstructed based on the matrix of mulitsets of the distances of the leaves. Using a handful of lemma’s each<br/>describing the steps of identifying cherries, uncontained leaves and blobs in the network, I created an algorithm for...
