Background: Overlapping genes (OGs) are defined as adjacent genes whose coding sequences overlap partially or entirely. In fact, they are ubiquitous in microbial genomes and more ...
The Drosophila species comparative genome database DroSpeGe (http://insects.eugenes.org/ DroSpeGe/) provides genome researchers with rapid, usable access to 12 new and old Drosoph...
Abstract. One phylogeny-based approach to horizontal gene transfer (HGT) detection entails comparing the topology of a gene tree to that of the species tree, and using their differ...
Background: Orthology is one of the cornerstones of gene function prediction. Dividing the phylogenetic relations between genes into either orthologs or paralogs is however an ove...
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays a major role in microbial genome diversiļ¬cation, and is claimed to be rampant among various groups of genes in bacteria. Further, HGT is a ma...
