Background: As the canonical code is not universal, different theories about its origin and organization have appeared. The optimization or level of adaptation of the canonical ge...
Background: Codon substitution constitutes a fundamental process in molecular biology that has been studied extensively. However, prior studies rely on various assumptions, e.g. r...
Background: Coalescent simulations have proven very useful in many population genetics studies. In order to arrive to meaningful conclusions, it is important that these simulation...
—In metabolic engineering it is difficult to identify which set of genetic manipulations will result in a microbial strain that achieves a desired production goal, due to the co...
In the class of repeated sequences that occur in DNA, minisatellites have been found polymorphic and became useful tools in genetic mapping and forensic studies. They consist of a...
