Genome BLAST distance phylogenies inferred from whole plastid and whole mitochondrion genome sequences
Background: Phylogenetic methods which do not rely on multiple sequence alignments are important tools in inferring trees directly from completely sequenced genomes. Here, we exte...

Fast and Accurate Phylogeny Reconstruction Algorithms Based on the Minimum-Evolution Principle
This paper investigates the standard ordinary least-squares version 24 and the balanced version 20 of the minimum evolution principle. For the standard version, we provide a greedy...

Detecting the limits of regulatory element conservation and divergence estimation using pairwise and multiple alignments
Background: Molecular evolutionary studies of noncoding sequences rely on multiple alignments. Yet how multiple alignment accuracy varies across sequence types, tree topologies, d...

GIGA: a simple, efficient algorithm for gene tree inference in the genomic age
Background: Phylogenetic relationships between genes are not only of theoretical interest: they enable us to learn about human genes through the experimental work on their relativ...
