요약	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.	Phylogenetic analysis reconstructs the evolutionary history of organisms, genes, or proteins by comparing molecular sequence data and estimating the branching tree that best explains observed similarities and differences. Rooted in the work of Felsenstein and colleagues from the 1960s onward, it is a cornerstone technique in evolutionary biology, microbiology, epidemiology, and comparative genomics, supporting tasks from tracing viral outbreak origins to classifying novel species.
