Short tandem repeats, specifically microsatellites, are widely used genetic markers, associated with human genetic diseases, and play an important role in various regulatory mecha...
Background: There are several situations in population biology research where simulating DNA sequences is useful. Simulation of biological populations under different evolutionary...
The C-value Paradox is the name given in biology to the wide variance in and often very large amount of DNA in eukaryotic genomes and the poor correlation between DNA length and p...
Evolutionary relationships among species can be represented by a phylogenetic tree and inferred by optimising some measure of fitness, such as the statistical likelihood of the t...
Computing consensus trees amounts to finding a single tree that summarizes a collection of trees. Three evolutionary algorithms are defined for this problem, featuring characteri...
