Background: We propose a multiple sequence alignment (MSA) algorithm and compare the alignment-quality and execution-time of the proposed algorithm with that of existing algorithm...
Phylogenetic hidden Markov models (phylo-HMMs) have recently been proposed as a means for addressing a multispecies version of the ab initio gene prediction problem. These models ...
In this work we consider an inference task that biologists are very good at: deciphering biological processes by bringing together knowledge that has been obtained by experiments u...

The most popular approaches for reconstructing phylogenetic trees attempt to solve NP-hard optimization criteria such as maximum parsimony (MP). Currently, the bestperforming heur...
Historical linguistics aims at inferring the most likely language phylogenetic tree starting from information concerning the evolutionary relatedness of languages. The available i...
