Biologists studying the evolutionary relationships between organisms use software packages to solve the computational problems they encounter. Several of these problems involve th...
Background: Computational analysis of metagenomes requires the taxonomical assignment of the genome contigs assembled from DNA reads of environmental samples. Because of the diver...

In phylogenetic analysis, a standard problem is to approximate a given metric by an additive metric. Here it is shown that, given a metric D defined on some finite set X and a non...
