Abstract
The first heuristic for reconstructing phylogenetic trees from gene order data was introduced by Blanchette et al.. It sought to reconstruct the breakpoint phylogeny and was applied to a variety of datasets. We present a new heuristic for estimating the breakpoint phylogeny which, although not polynomial-time, is much faster in practice than BPAnalysis. We use this heuristic to conduct a phylogenetic analysis of chloroplast genomes in the flowering plant family Campanulaceae. We also present and discuss the results of experimentation on this real dataset with three methods: our new method, BPAnalysis, and the neighbor-joining method, using breakpoint distances, inversion distances, and inversion plus transposition distances. 1
