Σύνοψη	Network-based phylogenetic analysis constructs graph-structured representations of evolutionary relationships that explicitly accommodate reticulate events — including hybridization, horizontal gene transfer, recombination, and incomplete lineage sorting — which strictly bifurcating phylogenetic trees cannot represent. Instead of forcing sequences into a single bifurcating tree, the method infers splits or reticulations in the data and visualises them as a network, revealing conflicting phylogenetic signals that are biologically informative.	Variant calling is the computational process of identifying positions in a sequenced genome that differ from a reference sequence — including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), small insertions and deletions (indels), and structural variants. It transforms aligned sequencing reads into an interpretable catalogue of genetic differences, forming the foundation for population genetics, disease-gene discovery, and clinical genomics applications.
