Abstract (Expand)

The ever increasing amount of genomic and meta-genomic sequence data has transformed biology into a data-driven and compute-intensive discipline. Hence, there is a need for efficient algorithms and scalable implementations thereof for analysing such data. We present GENESIS, a library for working with phylogenetic data, and GAPPA, an accompanying command line tool for conducting typical analyses on such data. While our tools primarily target phylogenetic trees and phylogenetic placements, they also offer a plethora of functions for handling genetic sequences, taxonomies, and other relevant data types. The tools aim at improved usability at the production stage (conducting data analyses) as well as the development stage (rapid prototyping): The modular interface of GENESIS simplifies numerous standard high-level tasks and analyses, while allowing for low-level customization at the same time. Our implementation relies on modern, multi-threaded C++11, and is substantially more com-putationally efficient than analogous tools. We already employed the core GENESIS library in several of our tools and publications, thereby proving its flexibility and utility. GENESIS and GAPPA are freely available under GPLv3 at http://github.com/lczech/genesis and http://github.com/lczech/gappa.

Abstract (Expand)

Geometric structures on manifolds became popular when Thurston used them in his work on the geometrization conjecture. They were studied by many people and they play an important role in higher Teichmüller theory. Geometric structures on a manifold are closely related with representations of the fundamental group and with flat bundles. Higgs bundles can be very useful in describing flat bundles explicitly, via solutions of Hitchin’s equations. Baraglia has shown in his Ph.D. Thesis that Higgs bundles can also be used to construct geometric structures in some interesting cases. In this paper, we will explain the main ideas behind this theory and we will survey some recent results in this direction, which are joint work with Qiongling Li.
