In the last few years, it has become routine to use gene-order data to reconstruct phylogenies, both in terms of edge distances (parsimonious sequences of operations that transform...

Abstract. Whole genome doubling (WGD), a frequent occurrence during the evolution of the angiopsperms, complicates ancestral gene order reconstruction due to the multiplicity of so...

In 2006, a debate has risen on the question of the efficiency of bioinformatics methods to reconstruct mammalian ancestral genomes. Three years later, Gordon et al. (PLoS Genetics,...
Background: As one of the most widely used parsimony methods for ancestral reconstruction, the Fitch method minimizes the total number of hypothetical substitutions along all bran...

Abstract. We investigate the problem of inferring contiguous ancestral regions (CARs) of the genome of the last common ancestor of all extant amniotes, based on the currently seque...
