Abstract

We suggest a novel distance-based method for the determination of phylogenetic trees. It is based on multidimensional scaling and Eu- clidean Steiner trees in high-dimensional spaces. Preliminary computational experience shows that the use of Euclidean Steiner trees for finding phylogenetic trees is a viable approach. Experiments also in-dicate that the new method is comparable with results produced by Neighbor Joining [20].
