The double cut and join (DCJ) operation, introduced by Yancopoulos, Attie and Friedberg in 2005, allows one to represent most rearrangement events in genomes. However, a DCJ cannot...
Reconstructing phylogenies is one of the primary objectives in evolution studies. Efficient software to reconstruct phylogenies based on isolated genes has existed for decades, ye...

The Smith-Waterman algorithm for local sequence alignment is one of the most important techniques in computational molecular biology. This ingenious dynamic programming approach w...
Breakpoint phylogenies methods have been shown to be an effective way to extract phylogenetic information from gene order data. Currently, the only practical breakpoint phylogeny a...
Background: Most known eukaryotic genomes contain mobile copied elements called transposable elements. In some species, these elements account for the majority of the genome seque...
