Background: There are a number of different methods for generation of trees and algorithms for phylogenetic analysis in the study of bacterial taxonomy. Genotypic information, suc...
Background: Advances in automated DNA sequencing technology have accelerated the generation of metagenomic DNA sequences, especially environmental ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) sequen...
Background: Efforts to predict functional sites from globular proteins is increasingly common; however, the most successful of these methods generally require structural insight. ...
