Abstract. A major task in evolutionary biology is to determine the ancestral relationships among the known species, a process generally referred as phylogenetic reconstruction. In ...
Background: Phylogenies capture the evolutionary ancestry linking extant species. Correlations and similarities among a set of species are mediated by and need to be understood in...
The inference of evolutionary trees using approaches which attempt to solve the maximum parsimony (MP) and maximum likelihood (ML) optimization problems is a standard part of much...
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...
