Phylogenetics has attained a central role in evolutionary biology with relevance in both, basic and applied research. The reconstruction of evolutionary processes based on sequence data emerged as a crucial issue in molecular biology. The results play an important role in the classifi cation of species and microbiological entities, in biodiversity research, in the development of drugs and vaccines, and in several other topics. Therefore, phylogenetic combinatorics is being pursued in various directions. Starting with well-known techniques, we will describe new approaches and discuss open questions.
