Traditional phylogenetic tree reconstruction is based on point mutations of a single gene. This approach is hardly suitable for genomes whose genes are almost identical and hardly...
Background: The rapidly increasing availability of whole-genome sequences has enabled the study of whole-genome evolution. Evolutionary mechanisms based on genome rearrangements h...

Conserved intervals were recently introduced as a measure of similarity between genomes whose genes have been shuffled during evolution by genomic rearrangements. Phylogenetic reco...

— Rearrangements of genes and other syntenic blocks have become a topic of intensive study by phylogenists, comparative genomicists, and computational biologists: they are a feat...
