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 ...

Validation of an NSP-based (negative selection pattern) gene family identification strategy
Background: Gene family identification from ESTs can be a valuable resource for analysis of genome evolution but presents unique challenges in organisms for which the entire genom...

A Probabilistic Model for Gene Content Evolution with Duplication, Loss, and Horizontal Transfer
We introduce a Markov model for the evolution of a gene family along a phylogeny. The model includes parameters for the rates of horizontal gene transfer, gene duplication, and gen...

Evolution of Tandemly Repeated Sequences Through Duplication and Inversion
Abstract. Given a phylogenetic tree T for a family of tandemly repeated genes and their signed order O on the chromosome, we aim to find the minimum number of inversions compatible...
