We present efficient sensitivity-analysis algorithms for two problems involving Markov models of sequence evolution: ancestral reconstruction in evolutionary trees and local ungap...
We propose the use of scatter search with path relinking for the inference of phylogenetic trees. Solutions are here represented as trees whose leaves span the set of species unde...
Given a phylogenetic tree for a family of tandemly repeated genes and their signed order on the chromosome, we aim to find the minimum number of inversions compatible with an evo...
: River Formation Dynamics (RFD) is an evolutionary computation method based on copying how drops form rivers by eroding the ground and depositing sediments. Given a cost-evaluated...
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...
