Motivation: Array-based comparative genomic hybridization (arrayCGH) has recently become a popular tool to identify DNA copy number variations along the genome. These profiles are...
In this work, we propose a software tool, called PROCSIMO, which aims the identification of similarities between operons in bacterial genomes. From a database which contains the ch...

Background: Successful realization of a "systems biology" approach to analyzing cells is a grand challenge for our understanding of life. However, current modeling appro...
Background: Genome sequences vary strongly in their repetitiveness and the causes for this are still debated. Here we propose a novel measure of genome repetitiveness, the index o...
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays a major role in microbial genome diversiļ¬cation, and is claimed to be rampant among various groups of genes in bacteria. Further, HGT is a ma...
