Abstract. A major task in evolutionary biology is to determine the ancestral relationships among the known species, a process generally referred as phylogenetic reconstruction. In ...
Background: The ever-increasing wealth of genomic sequence information provides an unprecedented opportunity for large-scale phylogenetic analysis. However, species phylogeny infe...
—The problem of reconstructing the duplication history of a set of tandemly repeated sequences was first introduced by Fitch [4]. Many recent studies deal with this problem, show...
In the past decade, genome rearrangements have attracted increasing attention from both biologists and computer scientists as a new type of data for phylogenetic analysis. Methods ...
