Background: Ultraconserved elements are nucleotide or protein sequences with 100% identity (no mismatches, insertions, or deletions) in the same organism or between two or more or...
Micro-indels are small insertion or deletion events (indels) that occur during genome evolution. The study of micro-indels is important, both in order to better understand the unde...
Whole genome comparison based on gene order has become a popular approach in comparative genomics. An important task in this field is the detection of gene clusters, i.e. sets of g...
Background: The Ensembl project produces updates to its comparative genomics resources with each of its several releases per year. During each release cycle approximately two week...

In this article, we propose a new method for computing rare maximal exact matches between multiple sequences. A rare match between k sequences S1; : : :; Sk is a string that occur...
