We present new methods for reconstructing reticulate evolution of species due to events such as horizontal transfer or hybrid speciation; both methods are based upon extensions of...
Wepropose a method called Selection by Performance Prediction (SPP) which allows one, when faced with a particular problem instance, to select a Branch and Boundalgorithm from amo...
Background: The detection of conserved motifs in promoters of orthologous genes (phylogenetic footprints) has become a common strategy to predict cis-acting regulatory elements. S...
Abstract. We describe two methods for estimating the size and depth of decision trees where a linear test is performed at each node. Both methods are applied to the question of dec...
: Phylogenetic search is a key tool used in a variety of biological research endeavors. However, this search problem is known to be computationally difficult, due to the astronomic...
