Computing large multiple protein sequence alignments using progressive alignment tools such as ClustalW requires several hours on state-of-the-art workstations. ClustalW uses a th...
In some cases, evolutionary algorithms represent individuals as typical binary trees with n leaves and n-1 internal nodes. When designing a crossover operator for a particular rep...
Background: The study of genome rearrangements has become a mainstay of phylogenetics and comparative genomics. Fundamental in such a study is the median problem: given three geno...
