Identifiability Issues in Phylogeny-Based Detection of Horizontal Gene Transfer
Prokaryotic organisms share genetic material across species boundaries by means of a process known as horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Detecting this process bears great significanc...

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...

A computational approach for identifying pathogenicity islands in prokaryotic genomes
Background: Pathogenicity islands (PAIs), distinct genomic segments of pathogens encoding virulence factors, represent a subgroup of genomic islands (GIs) that have been acquired ...
