Algebraic and geometric tools in phylogenetics.
In this expository work we describe the main aspects of the so-called Phylogenetic Algebraic Geometry which concerns with the study of algebraic varieties representing statistical models of evolution. In particular, we mainly describe how this field of research can be used to infer phylogenies.
