galaxieEST: addressing EST identity through automated phylogenetic analysis
Background: Research involving expressed sequence tags (ESTs) is intricately coupled to the existence of large, well-annotated sequence repositories. Comparatively complete and sa...

Proper gromov transforms of metrics are metrics
In phylogenetic analysis, a standard problem is to approximate a given metric by an additive metric. Here it is shown that, given a metric D defined on some finite set X and a non...

Improved Layout of Phylogenetic Networks
Split networks are increasingly being used in phylogenetic analysis. Usually, a simple equal-angle algorithm is used to draw such networks, producing layouts that leave much room f...

Finding coevolving amino acid residues using row and column weighting of mutual information and multi-dimensional amino acid rep
Background: Some amino acid residues functionally interact with each other. This interaction will result in an evolutionary co-variation between these residues – coevolution. Ou...

Whole Genome Phylogeny Based on Clustered Signature String Composition
Peptide compositions constructed out of whole sets of protein sequences can be used as species signatures for phylogenetic analysis. To account for point mutations, an amino acid ...
