The Geometry of the Neighbor-Joining Algorithm for Small Trees
In 2007, Eickmeyer et al. showed that the tree topologies outputted by the Neighbor-Joining (NJ) algorithm and the balanced minimum evolution (BME) method for phylogenetic reconstr...

An Algorithm for Qualitative Simulation of Gene Regulatory Networks with Steep Sigmoidal Response Functions
A specific class of ODEs has been shown to be adequate to describe the essential features of the complex dynamics of Gene-Regulatory Networks (GRN). But, the effective exploitatio...
