Phylogeny estimation is an important part of much biological research, but large-scale tree estimation is infeasible using standard methods due to computational issues. Recently, an approach to large-scale phy...
DNA methylation is widely used as a biomarker in crucial medical applications as well as for human age prediction of very high accuracy. This biomarker is based on the methylation status of several hundred CpG...
To account for genome-wide discordance among gene trees, several widely-used methods seek to find a species tree with the minimum distance to input gene trees. To efficiently explore the large space of species...
Multi-locus species phylogeny inference is based on models of sequence evolution on gene trees as well as models of gene tree evolution within the branches of species phylogenies. Almost all statistical method...
Computationally inferred ancestral genomes play an important role in many areas of genome research. We present an improved workflow for the reconstruction from highly diverged genomes such as those of plants.
The term pan-genome was proposed to denominate collections of genomic sequences jointly analyzed or used as a reference. The constant growth of genomic data intensifies development of data structures and algorith...
During cancer progression, malignant cells accumulate somatic mutations that can lead to genetic aberrations. In particular, evolutionary events akin to segmental duplications or deletions can alter the copy-n...
In bacterial genomes, rRNA and tRNA genes are often organized into operons, i.e. segments of closely located genes that share a single promoter and are transcribed as a single unit. Analyzing how these genes a...
