= Neighbor-net
{wiki=Neighbor-net}
Neighbor-net is a computational method used in phylogenetics to construct phylogenetic networks, which represent the evolutionary relationships among a set of species or sequences. Unlike traditional tree-based representations, which assume that evolution occurs in a strictly branching fashion, Neighbor-net can accommodate more complex evolutionary histories that may include events such as hybridization, horizontal gene transfer, or reticulate evolution.
