Conserved Interval Distance Computation Between Non-trivial Genomes
Recently, several studies taking into account the ability for a gene to be absent or to have some copies in genomes have been proposed, as the examplar distance [11, 6] or the gene...

An Automated Method for Rapid Identification of Putative Gene Family Members in Plants
Background: Gene duplication events have played a significant role in genome evolution, particularly in plants. Exhaustive searches for all members of a known gene family as well ...

A Heuristic Algorithm for Reconstructing Ancestral Gene Orders with Duplications
Accurately reconstructing the large-scale gene order in an ancestral genome is a critical step to better understand genome evolution. In this paper, we propose a heuristic algorith...

Tandem duplication, circular permutation, molecular adaptation: how Solanaceae resist pests via inhibitors
Background: The Potato type II (Pot II) family of proteinase inhibitors plays critical roles in the defense system of plants from Solanaceae family against pests. To better unders...

Tests for gene clustering
Comparing chromosomal gene order in two or more related species is an important approach to studying the forces that guide genome organization and evolution. Linked clusters of si...
