In this paper we propose a new method to improve the performance of hierarchical classification. We use a swarm intelligence algorithm to select the type of classification algorith...
Phylogenetic analyses are central to many research areas in biology and typically involve the identification of homologous sequences, their multiple alignment, the phylogenetic re...
Background: The pan-genome of a bacterial species consists of a core and an accessory gene pool. The accessory genome is thought to be an important source of genetic variability i...
