This project demonstrates the use of compression to do science, such as studying mammalian evolution and constructing the phelogeny of the SARS virus. More details can be found in this slide

For the theory, please consult Clustering by Compression by Rudi Cilibrasi and Paul Vitanyi, as well as course slides by Marcus Hutter.
