We developed a new approach for the reconstruction of phylogenetic trees using ant colony optimization metaheuristics.Atree is constructed using a fully connected graph and the pro...
- Gene regulatory networks allow us to study and understand genes’ roles in biological processes. Among others, regulatory networks help to identify pathway initiator genes and t...
Background: Phylogenetic relationships between genes are not only of theoretical interest: they enable us to learn about human genes through the experimental work on their relativ...
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays a major role in microbial genome diversification, and is claimed to be rampant among various groups of genes in bacteria. Further, HGT is a ma...
Background: Gene duplication and gene loss during the evolution of eukaryotes have hindered attempts to estimate phylogenies and divergence times of species. Although current meth...
