Conventional phylogenetic tree estimation methods assume that all sites in a DNA multiple alignment have the same evolutionary history. This assumption is violated in data sets fro...
Background: Coalescent simulations have proven very useful in many population genetics studies. In order to arrive to meaningful conclusions, it is important that these simulation...
The stichotrichous ciliates are uni-cellular organisms which undergo a series of complex unscrambling of genetic encodings. This ability to rearrange DNA to produce the correct pr...
