We present a general heuristicfor the median problem for induced breakpoints on genomes with unequal gene content and incorporate this into a routine for estimating optimal gene o...
Background: The investigation of plant genome structure and evolution requires comprehensive characterization of repetitive sequences that make up the majority of higher plant nuc...
Whether common ancestors of eukaryotes and prokaryotes had introns is one of the oldest unanswered questions in molecular evolution. Recently completed genome sequences have been u...
Background: An organism's ability to adapt to its particular environmental niche is of fundamental importance to its survival and proliferation. In the largest study of its k...
