A flowchart describing how our statistical test calculates the separation percentage of the evolutionary histories of two sets of DNA sequence alignments, A and B. First, gene trees, labeled “training set”, are inferred from alignments A and B. The training set gene trees are vectorized and an SVM is trained to find a hyperplane separating the vectorized gene trees. Next, a new set of gene trees, labeled “testing set”, are inferred from alignments A and B. The testing set gene trees are vectorized and the hyperplane previously computed by the SVM is used to calculate a separation percentage.
