The tree of blobs of a species network shows only the tree-like aspects of relationships of taxa on a network, omitting information on network substructures where hybridization or other types of lateral transfer of genetic information occur. By isolating such regions of a network, inference of the tree of blobs can serve as a starting point for a more detailed investigation, or indicate the limit of what may be inferrable without additional assumptions. Building on our theoretical work on the identifiability of the tree of blobs from gene quartet distributions under the Network Multispecies Coalescent model, we develop an algorithm, TINNiK, for statistically consistent tree of blobs inference. We provide examples of its application to both simulated and empirical datasets, utilizing an implementation in the MSCquartets 2.0 R package.

Diabetic retinopathy's signs, such as exudates (EXs) and aneurysms (ANs), initially develop from under the retinal surface detectable from optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. Detecting these signs helps ophthalmologists diagnose DR sooner. Detecting and segmenting exudates (EXs) and aneurysms (ANs) in medical images is challenging due to their small size, similarity to other hyperreflective regions, noise presence, and low background contrast.

Phylogenetic networks extend phylogenetic trees to model non-vertical inheritance, by which a lineage inherits material from multiple parents. The computational complexity of estimating phylogenetic networks from genome-wide data with likelihood-based methods limits the size of networks that can be handled. Methods based on pairwise distances could offer faster alternatives.

Inference of species networks from genomic data under the Network Multispecies Coalescent Model is currently severely limited by heavy computational demands. It also remains unclear how complicated networks can be for consistent inference to be possible. As a step toward inferring a general species network, this work considers its tree of blobs, in which non-cut edges are contracted to nodes, so only tree-like relationships between the taxa are shown.
