Previous work has shown the perhaps surprising result that, for any binary phylogenetic tree T , there is a set of four characters that define T . Here we deal with the general ca...
We propose the use of scatter search with path relinking for the inference of phylogenetic trees. Solutions are here represented as trees whose leaves span the set of species unde...
Driven by novel biological wet lab techniques such as pyrosequencing there has been an unprecedented molecular data explosion over the last 2-3 years. The growth of biological seq...
Background: The availability of sequences from whole genomes to reconstruct the tree of life has the potential to enable the development of phylogenomic hypotheses in ways that ha...

Background: Orthology is one of the cornerstones of gene function prediction. Dividing the phylogenetic relations between genes into either orthologs or paralogs is however an ove...
