Abstract—The following network computing problem is considered. Source nodes in a directed acyclic network generate independent messages and a single receiver node computes a tar...
Background: The prediction of ancestral protein sequences from multiple sequence alignments is useful for many bioinformatics analyses. Predicting ancestral sequences is not a sim...
In a recent article, Nakhleh, Ringe and Warnow introduced perfect phylogenetic networks--a model of language evolution where languages do not evolve via clean speciation--and form...
