In order to better protect and conserve biodiversity, ecologists use machine learning and statistics to understand how species respond to their environment and to predict how they...
Background: Phylogenetic networks are a generalization of phylogenetic trees that allow for the representation of evolutionary events acting at the population level, like recombin...
This paper concerns the Lateral Gene Transfer Problem. This minimization problem, defined by Hallet and Lagergren [6], is that of finding the most parsimonious lateral gene trans...
The Maximum Agreement Subtree problem is the following: given two rooted trees whose leaves are drawn from the same set of items (e.g., species), find the largest subset of these i...
Background: Detection of adaptive amino acid changes in proteins under recent short-term selection is of great interest for researchers studying microevolutionary processes in mic...
