Background: Genomic islands can be observed in many microbial genomes. These stretches of DNA have a conspicuous composition with regard to sequence or encoded functions. Genomic ...
Abstract. The aim of this paper is to show how the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) can be used in relation with component based software engineering. A software component only exhi...
Abstract. Asymmetric functional divergence of paralogues is a key aspect of the traditional model of evolution following duplication. If one gene continues to perform the ancestral...
Background: Sequence alignment is a common tool in bioinformatics and comparative genomics. It is generally assumed that multiple sequence alignment yields better results than pai...
For many multi-part object classes, the set of parts can vary not only in location but also in type. For example, player formations in American football involve various subsets of...
