Background: Overlapping genes (OGs) are defined as adjacent genes whose coding sequences overlap partially or entirely. In fact, they are ubiquitous in microbial genomes and more ...
Reconstructing phylogenies is one of the primary objectives in evolution studies. Efficient software to reconstruct phylogenies based on isolated genes has existed for decades, ye...

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 cha...
Shannon information in the genomes of all completely sequenced prokaryotes and eukaryotes are measured in word lengths of two to ten letters. It is found that in a scale-dependent...
Phylogenetic reconstruction from gene-order data has attracted attention from both biologists and computer scientists over the last few years. So far, our software suite GRAPPA is...

The paper studies the computational complexity and approximation algorithms for a new evolutionary distance between multi-chromosomal genomes introduced recently by Ferretti, Nade...

Upon completion of the human and mouse genome sequences, world-wide sequencing capacity will turn to other complex organisms. Current strategies call for many of these genomes to ...
In the last few years, it has become routine to use gene-order data to reconstruct phylogenies, both in terms of edge distances (parsimonious sequences of operations that transform...

A popular approach in comparative genomics is to locate groups or clusters of orthologous genes in multiple genomes and to postulate functional association between the genes contai...
