In the last few years, it has become routine to use gene-order data to reconstruct phylogenies, both in terms of edge distances (parsimonious sequences of operations that transform...

We present new methods for reconstructing reticulate evolution of species due to events such as horizontal transfer or hybrid speciation; both methods are based upon extensions of...
Background: To understand the evolutionary role of Lateral Gene Transfer (LGT), accurate methods are needed to identify transferred genes and infer their timing of acquisition. Ph...

Background: Construction and interpretation of phylogenetic trees has been a major research topic for understanding the evolution of genes. Increases in sequence data and complexi...
Self-adaptation of the mutation strengths is a powerful mechanism in evolution strategies (ES), but it can fail. As a consequence premature convergence or ending up in a local opt...
