Definition
A phylogenetic network is
nested when for any two distinct reticulation nodes, a merge path of the first one shares an arc with a merge path of the second one if and only if one of these paths is contained in the other. A merge path
p is defined as a path from a reticulation node
h to one of its ancestors
s, when another path exists that intersects with
p and intersects it only in
s and
h. [

This website was programmed and is maintained by Philippe Gambette.
It was started during the internship of Maxime Morgado at LIGM, in June-July 2015,
and also contains contributions made from Narges Tavassoli from November 2016 to January 2017.
Please contact Philippe Gambette if you have any suggestions about this website, especially about problems, properties, results or subclasses to add.
