Gene duplications are scattered widely throughout the human genome. A single-base difference located in nearly identical duplicated segments may be misjudged as a single nucleotid...
Background: Sequence alignments form part of many investigations in molecular biology, including the determination of phylogenetic relationships, the prediction of protein structu...

Background: With the continued development of new computational tools for multiple sequence alignment, it is necessary today to develop benchmarks that aid the selection of the mo...
Understanding the variation of recombination rates across a given genome is crucial for disease gene mapping and for detecting signatures of selection, to name just a couple of app...
