Abstract: Phylogenetic placement, the problem of placing a “query” sequence into a precomputed phylogenetic “backbone” tree, is useful for constructing large trees, performing taxon identification of ...

This manuscript introduces a useful protein-stability-based fitness model for simulating protein evolution and unifying non-neutral models of molecular evolution with phylogenetic models. The model is ...

Abstract: In bioinformatics, protein multiple sequence alignment (MSA) and phylogenetic tree construction are among the major problems for which many algorithms have been developed to improve the ...

Mussununga, an oligotrophic sandy savanna ecosystem, comprises distinct physiognomies along fire, water and nutrient availability gradients. Grasslands and woodlands are constrained at the opposite ...

This ambitious project has resulted in the most complete bird evolutionary tree to date. To build this comprehensive phylogenetic tree, the researchers integrated data on 9,239 bird species from ...

Figure 4. Distribution of virulence genes for each phylogroup across 107 E. coli strains. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based phylogenetic tree was constructed to examine the genetic ...
