Background: Determination of genetic relatedness among microorganisms provides information necessary for making inferences regarding phylogeny. However, there is little informatio...
Background: Analysis of sequence composition is a routine task in genome research. Organisms are characterized by their base composition, dinucleotide relative abundance, codon us...
Abstract. Preliminary to most comparative genomics studies is the annotation of chromosomes as ordered sequences of genes. Unfortunately, different genetic mapping techniques usual...

In bacterial cells, gene expression is regulated by multiple sigma factors, each of which has its promoter specificity, according to their conditions. Thus, if we can discriminate...
Abstract. One phylogeny-based approach to horizontal gene transfer (HGT) detection entails comparing the topology of a gene tree to that of the species tree, and using their differ...
