A Practical Approach to Significance Assessment in Alignment with Gaps
Abstract. Current numerical methods for assessing the statistical significance of local alignments with gaps are time consuming. Analytical solutions thus far have been limited to ...

Information Theoretic Approaches to Whole Genome Phylogenies
We describe a novel method for efficient reconstruction of phylogenetic trees, based on sequences of whole genomes or proteomes, whose lengths may greatly vary. The core of our me...

A Framework for Orthology Assignment from Gene Rearrangement Data
Abstract. Gene rearrangements have been used successfully in phylogenetic reconstruction and comparative genomics, but usually under the assumption that all genomes have the same g...

Very Low Power to Detect Asymmetric Divergence of Duplicated Genes
Abstract. Asymmetric functional divergence of paralogues is a key aspect of the traditional model of evolution following duplication. If one gene continues to perform the ancestral...

Power Boosts for Cluster Tests
Abstract. Gene cluster significance tests that are based on the number of genes in a cluster in two genomes, and how compactly they are distributed, but not their order, may be mad...
