—Recent advances in DNA sequencing techniques have led to an unprecedented accumulation and availability of molecular sequence data that needs to be analyzed. This data explosion...
Background: Maximum parsimony phylogenetic tree reconstruction from genetic variation data is a fundamental problem in computational genetics with many practical applications in p...

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...
We present a probabilistic model of diachronic phonology in which individual word forms undergo stochastic edits along the branches of a phylogenetic tree. Our approach allows us ...
We present a probabilistic approach to language change in which word forms are represented by phoneme sequences that undergo stochastic edits along the branches of a phylogenetic ...
