Li et al.'s all-taxa accuracy conjecture for Fitch ancestral reconstruction
Li et al.'s conjecture. For any rooted binary ultrametric phylogenetic tree and a simple model of evolution, the Fitch algorithm using all taxa for ancestral state reconstruction i…

Li, Steel and Zhang's all-taxa accuracy conjecture for Fitch ancestral reconstruction
Li, Steel and Zhang's conjecture. For any ultrametric phylogenetic tree and a symmetric model, the Fitch parsimony method using all terminal taxa is more accurate, or at least as a…

Steel's conjecture on phylogeny reconstruction from ancestral-sequence inference
In phylogenetic reconstruction, one may first infer ancestral sequences at internal nodes and then use those inferred sequences to improve reconstruction of the underlying phylogen…
