Correspondence between evolution and development has been discussed for more than two
centuries. Recent work reveals that phylogeny−ontogeny correlations are indeed present …

… The most prevalent form of HIV is the M group of HIV-1, which is divided into eight subtypes
(A, B, C, D, F, G, H, J) based on the sequence of their 9 and 10 kb genomes. However, …

Motivation: Genome comparison is central to contemporary genomics and typically relies on
sequence alignment. However, genome-wide alignments are difficult to compute. We have, …

The gain and loss of genes fluctuate over evolutionary time in major eukaryotic clades.
However, the full profile of these macroevolutionary trajectories is still missing. To give a more …

In nature, bacteria prevailingly reside in the form of biofilms. These elaborately organized
surface-bound assemblages of bacterial cells show numerous features of multicellular …

… For instance, by using the permissive criteria (Table 1) we found that 74% of genes (39
out of 53 genes in the whole genome) which are annotated with the COG term M (cell wall/…

Bacterial epidemics are often caused by strains that have acquired their increased virulence
through horizontal gene transfer. Due to this association with disease, the detection of …

… gmos takes Q and S as input and computes the mosaic structure of Q, denoted M. M … i ,
i = 1,.., n, and (ii) computation of the mosaic structure of the query, M. The program returns …

Phylogeny reconstruction on a genome scale remains computationally challenging even for
closely related organisms. Here we propose an alignment-free pairwise distance measure, …

In the last two decades, the widespread application of genetic and genomic approaches has
revealed a bacterial world astonishing in its ubiquity and diversity. This review examines …
