Background: Next-generation sequencing technologies allow genomes to be sequenced more quickly and less expensively than ever before. However, as sequencing technology has improve...
Background: It is difficult to accurately interpret chromosomal correspondences such as true orthology and paralogy due to significant divergence of genomes from a common ancestor...

Background: Computational analysis of metagenomes requires the taxonomical assignment of the genome contigs assembled from DNA reads of environmental samples. Because of the diver...

Background: Genomic rearrangements have been studied since the beginnings of modern genetics and models for such rearrangements have been the subject of many papers over the last ...
Advances in sequencing technologies have equipped researchers with the ability to sequence the collective genome of entire microbial communities commonly referred to as metagenomi...
The double cut and join (DCJ) operation, introduced by Yancopoulos, Attie and Friedberg in 2005, allows one to represent most rearrangement events in genomes. However, a DCJ cannot...
—Cytochrome b561 (Cyt-b561) proteins play important functions in plants such as anti-toxin defense reactions, growth and development, and prevention of damage to plants from exce...
Evolutionary trees of species can be reconstructed by pairwise comparison of their entire genomes. Such a comparison can be quantified by determining the number of events that ch...
The Drosophila species comparative genome database DroSpeGe (http://insects.eugenes.org/ DroSpeGe/) provides genome researchers with rapid, usable access to 12 new and old Drosoph...
The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) is the primary database resource of the Japanese GenomeNet service (http://www.genome.ad.jp/) for understanding higher order fun...
