Investigating selection on viruses: a statistical alignment approach
Background: Two problems complicate the study of selection in viral genomes: Firstly, the presence of genes in overlapping reading frames implies that selection in one reading fra...

Measuring similarities between gene expression profiles through new data transformations
Background: Clustering methods are widely used on gene expression data to categorize genes with similar expression profiles. Finding an appropriate (dis)similarity measure is crit...
