Gene finding in the chicken genome
Background: Despite the continuous production of genome sequence for a number of organisms, reliable, comprehensive, and cost effective gene prediction remains problematic. This i...

Evolutionary sequence analysis of complete eukaryote genomes
Background: Gene duplication and gene loss during the evolution of eukaryotes have hindered attempts to estimate phylogenies and divergence times of species. Although current meth...

Multi-break rearrangements and chromosomal evolution
Most genome rearrangements (e.g., reversals and translocations) can be represented as 2-breaks that break a genome at 2 points and glue the resulting fragments in a new order. Mul...

The Average Common Substring Approach to Phylogenomic Reconstruction
We describe a novel method for efficient reconstruction of phylogenetic trees, based on sequences of whole genomes or proteomes, whose lengths may greatly vary. The core of our me...

DUPCAR: Reconstructing Contiguous Ancestral Regions with Duplications
Accurately reconstructing the large-scale gene order in an ancestral genome is a critical step to better understand genome evolution. In this paper, we propose a heuristic algorit...
