Background: Pseudogenes, nonfunctional copies of genes, evolve fast due the lack of evolutionary pressures and thus appear in several different forms. PseudoGeneQuest is an online...
Background: Increasing amount of data from comparative genomics, and newly developed technologies producing accurate gene expression data facilitate the study of the expression di...

This paper examines some of the rich structure of the syntenic distance model of evolutionary distance, introduced by Ferretti et al. (1996). The syntenic distance between two gen...
The problem of sorting a signed permutation by reversals is inspired by genome rearrangements in computational molecular biology. Given two genomes represented as two signed permut...
Background: Gene duplication events have played a significant role in genome evolution, particularly in plants. Exhaustive searches for all members of a known gene family as well ...
