Detecting recombination in evolving nucleotide sequences
Background: Genetic recombination can produce heterogeneous phylogenetic histories within a set of homologous genes. These recombination events can be obscured by subsequent resid...

A jumping profile Hidden Markov Model and applications to recombination sites in HIV and HCV genomes
Background: Jumping alignments have recently been proposed as a strategy to search a given multiple sequence alignment A against a database. Instead of comparing a database sequen...

A spatially varying two-sample recombinant coalescent, with applications to HIV escape response
Statistical evolutionary models provide an important mechanism for describing and understanding the escape response of a viral population under a particular therapy. We present a ...

Identifying a few foot-and-mouth disease virus signature nucleotide strings for computational genotyping
Background: Serotypes of the Foot-and-Mouth disease viruses (FMDVs) were generally determined by biological experiments. The computational genotyping is not well studied even with...

Using the nucleotide substitution rate matrix to detect horizontal gene transfer
Background: Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has allowed bacteria to evolve many new capabilities. Because transferred genes perform many medically important functions, such as conf...
