Reversing Gene Erosion - Reconstructing Ancestral Bacterial Genomes from Gene-Content and Order Data
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...

Reconstructing reticulate evolution in species: theory and practice
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...

Detecting lateral gene transfers by statistical reconciliation of phylogenetic forests
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...

Three-Dimensional Phylogeny Explorer: Distinguishing paralogs, lateral transfer, and violation of "molecular clock" assumption w
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...

Using gene deletion and gene duplication in evolution strategies
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...
