Assessing the benefits of using mate-pairs to resolve repeats in de novo short-read prokaryotic assemblies
Background: Next-generation sequencing technologies allow genomes to be sequenced more quickly and less expensively than ever before. However, as sequencing technology has improve...

RAIphy: Phylogenetic classification of metagenomics samples using iterative refinement of relative abundance index profiles
Background: Computational analysis of metagenomes requires the taxonomical assignment of the genome contigs assembled from DNA reads of environmental samples. Because of the diver...

Genomic Distance with DCJ and Indels
The double cut and join (DCJ) operation, introduced by Yancopoulos, Attie and Friedberg in 2005, allows one to represent most rearrangement events in genomes. However, a DCJ cannot...
