The similarity metric
—A new class of distances appropriate for measuring similarity relations between sequences, say one type of similarity per distance, is studied. We propose a new “normalized in...

Scoredist: A simple and robust protein sequence distance estimator
Background: Distance-based methods are popular for reconstructing evolutionary trees thanks to their speed and generality. A number of methods exist for estimating distances from ...

Novel methodology for construction and pruning of quasi-median networks
Background: Visualising the evolutionary history of a set of sequences is a challenge for molecular phylogenetics. One approach is to use undirected graphs, such as median network...

An Experimental Evaluation of Inversion-and Transposition-Based Genomic Distances through Simulations
— Rearrangements of genes and other syntenic blocks have become a topic of intensive study by phylogenists, comparative genomicists, and computational biologists: they are a feat...
