Gene duplication and divergence is a major evolutionary force. Despite the growing number of fully sequenced genomes, methods for investigating these events on a genome-wide scale...

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...
Abstract. Lateral gene transfer (LGT) is a common mechanism of nonvertical evolution where genetic material is transferred between two more or less distantly related organisms. It ...
Prokaryotic organisms share genetic material across species boundaries by means of a process known as horizontal gene transfer (HGT). This process has great significance for unde...

Background: The ever-increasing wealth of genomic sequence information provides an unprecedented opportunity for large-scale phylogenetic analysis. However, species phylogeny infe...
