Background: There are a number of methods (also called: measures) currently in use that quantify codon usage in genes. These measures are often influenced by other sequence proper...
Two important and not yet solved problems in bacterial genome research are the identification of horizontally transferred genes and the prediction of gene expression levels. Both ...

Background: Sustained research on the problem of determining which genes are differentially expressed on the basis of microarray data has yielded a plethora of statistical algorit...
Background: Analysis of sequence composition is a routine task in genome research. Organisms are characterized by their base composition, dinucleotide relative abundance, codon us...
