Computational identification of evolutionarily conserved exons
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 ...

UVPAR: fast detection of functional shifts in duplicate genes
Background: The imprint of natural selection on gene sequences is often difficult to detect. A plethora of methods have been devised to detect genetic changes due to selective pro...
