Background: In recent years, gene order data has attracted increasing attention from both biologists and computer scientists as a new type of data for phylogenetic analysis. If ge...
Background: An important challenge in eukaryotic gene prediction is accurate identification of alternatively spliced exons. Functional transcripts can go undetected in gene expres...
We describe a method for finding ungapped conserved words in rRNA sequences that is effective, utilizes evolutionary information and does not depend on multiple sequence alignment...
