Abstract. Sequence alignment algorithms have a long standing tradition in bioinformatics. In this paper, we formulate an extension to existing local alignment algorithms: local ali...
Background: There are a number of different methods for generation of trees and algorithms for phylogenetic analysis in the study of bacterial taxonomy. Genotypic information, suc...
In a recent article, Nakhleh, Ringe and Warnow introduced perfect phylogenetic networks--a model of language evolution where languages do not evolve via clean speciation--and form...
Background: Unraveling the mechanisms that regulate gene expression is a major challenge in biology. An important task in this challenge is to identify regulatory elements, especi...
Background: Phylogenetic relationships between genes are not only of theoretical interest: they enable us to learn about human genes through the experimental work on their relativ...
