MARE

Most approaches in multigene data sets are dealing with predefined thresholds or biclique / quasi-biqulique solutions to decrease the amount of missing data.
 
This software MARE (matrix reduction) delivers an alternative heuristics which (1) assesses tree-likeness of partitions ('genes') in supermatrices using extended geometry mapping and (2) reduces supermatrices with a simple hill climbing procedure to single quasi-bicliques with information content of the matrix. Formally, it reduces a super matrix to an incomplete edge-weighted bipartite graph, representing a subset of taxa and genes. It can be applied currently only on amino acid data. Before using MARE, please read the readme.txt and the Manual.
