Calibration of clocks to date evolutionary changes is of primary importance for comparative
genomics. In the absence of fossil records, the dating of changes during yeast genome …

Phylogenetic studies aim to discover evolutionary relationships and histories. These studies
are based on similarities of morphological characters and molecular sequences. Currently …

Since the availability of assembled eukaryotic genomes, the first one being a budding yeast,
many computational methods for the reconstruction of ancestral karyotypes and gene orders …

The reconstruction of the history of rearrangements and the reconstruction of ancestral
genomes are some of the challenges of bioinformatics today. Many algorithms already exist …

In 2006, a debate has risen on the question of the efficiency of bioinformatics methods to
reconstruct mammalian ancestral genomes. Three years later, Gordon et al.(PLoS Genetics …

The PQ-tree is a fundamental data structure that can encode large sets of permutations. It
has recently been used in comparative genomics to model ancestral genomes with some …

Durch die Erforschung von verwandtschaftlichen Beziehungen, der Phylogenie,
verschiedener Spezies erlangen wir umfassende Informationen über deren Evolution. Ein …

Current methods for detecting synteny work well for genomes with high degrees of inter-and
intra-species chromosomal homology, such as mammals. This paper presents a new …

The PQ-tree is a fundamental data structure that has also been used in comparative
genomics to model ancestral genomes with some uncertainty. To quantify the evolution …

As genome-sequencing costs continue their downward spiral, sequencing of closely related
organisms has become increasingly affordable. The growing amount of genomic data …
