Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is believed to be ubiquitous among bacteria, and plays a major role in their genome diversification as well as their ability to develop resistance t...
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...
Traditional phylogenetic tree reconstruction is based on point mutations of a single gene. This approach is hardly suitable for genomes whose genes are almost identical and hardly...
Abstract—Because of the advent of high-throughput sequencing and the consequent reduction in cost of sequencing, many organisms have been completely sequenced and most of their g...
Gene duplication and divergence is a major evolutionary force. Despite the growing number of fully sequenced genomes, methods for investigating these events on a genome-wide scale...
