We developed a new approach for the reconstruction of phylogenetic trees using ant colony optimization metaheuristics.Atree is constructed using a fully connected graph and the pro...
Motivation: Sequence-based methods for phylogenetic reconstruction from (nucleic acid) sequence data are notoriously plagued by two effects: homoplasies and alignment errors. Larg...

Background: In plant mitochondria, the post-transcriptional RNA editing process converts C to U at a number of specific sites of the mRNA sequence and usually restores phylogeneti...
