Background: The genomes of prokaryotes and lower eukaryotes display a very strong 11 bp periodic bias in the distribution of their nucleotides. This bias is present throughout a g...
Background: Public databases now contain multitude of complete bacterial genomes, including several genomes of the same species. The available data offers new opportunities to add...
Genomes are dynamic molecules that are constantly undergoing mutations and rearrangements. The latter are large scale changes in a genome organisation that participate in the evol...
: Phylogenetic profiles of proteins strings of ones and zeros encoding respectively the presence and absence of proteins in a group of genomes have recently been used to id...
The Yeast Gene Order Browser (YGOB) is an online tool designed to facilitate the comparative genomic visualization and appraisal of synteny within and between the genomes of seven...
The University of California Santa Cruz Genome Browser Database (GBD) contains sequence and annotation data for the genomes of about a dozen vertebrate species and several major m...

The Chloroplast Genome Database (ChloroplastDB) is an interactive, web-based database for fully sequenced plastid genomes, containing genomic, protein, DNA and RNA sequences, gene...

As more and more genomes are sequenced, evolutionary biologists are becoming increasingly interested in evolution at the level of whole genomes, in scenarios in which the genome e...

In this paper we present two main results about the inapproximability of the exemplar conserved interval distance problem of genomes. First, we prove that it is NP-complete to deci...

Multi-break rearrangements break a genome into multiple fragments and further glue them together in a new order. While 2-break rearrangements represent standard reversals, fusions...
