Distributed selection: a missing piece of data aggregation
In this article, we study the problem of distributed selection from a theoretical point of view. Given a general connected graph of diameter D consisting of n nodes in which each ...

WSPMaker: a web tool for calculating selection pressure in proteins and domains using window-sliding
Background: In the study of adaptive evolution, it is important to detect the protein coding sites where natural selection is acting. In general, the ratio of the rate of non-syno...

Fregene: Simulation of realistic sequence-level data in populations and ascertained samples
Background: FREGENE simulates sequence-level data over large genomic regions in large populations. Because, unlike coalescent simulators, it works forwards through time, it allows...
