Finding Cognate Groups Using Phylogenies
A central problem in historical linguistics is the identification of historically related cognate words. We present a generative phylogenetic model for automatically inducing cogn...

Clustering of cognate proteins among distinct proteomes derived from multiple links to a single seed sequence
Background: Modern proteomes evolved by modification of pre-existing ones. It is extremely important to comparative biology that related proteins be identified as members of the s...

Evolutionary Trees and Ordinal Assertions
Sequence data for a group of species is often summarized by a distance matrix M where M[s, t] is the dissimilarity between the sequences of species s and t. An ordinal assertion is...

Using Avida to Test the Effects of Natural Selection on Phylogenetic Reconstruction Methods
Phylogenetic trees group organisms by their ancestral relationships. There are a number of distinct algorithms used to reconstruct these trees from molecular sequence data, but dif...
