Selecting for evolvable representations
Evolutionary algorithms tend to produce solutions that are not evolvable: Although current fitness may be high, further search is impeded as the effects of mutation and crossover ...

Improving Tree Search in Phylogenetic Reconstruction from Genome Rearrangement Data
Abstract. A major task in evolutionary biology is to determine the ancestral relationships among the known species, a process generally referred as phylogenetic reconstruction. In ...

Incorporating background frequency improves entropy-based residue conservation measures
Background: Several entropy-based methods have been developed for scoring sequence conservation in protein multiple sequence alignments. High scoring amino acid positions may corr...
