Following the draft sequence of the first human genome over 20 years ago, we have
achieved unprecedented insights into the rules governing its evolution, often with direct …

Motivation: Gene family evolution is driven by evolutionary events such as speciation, gene
duplication, horizontal gene transfer and gene loss, and inferring these events in the …

Background Cyclic nucleotide-gated channels (CNGCs) are Ca 2+-permeable cation
transport channels, which are present in both animal and plant systems. They have been …

Phylogenomics heavily relies on well-curated sequence data sets that comprise, for each
gene, exclusively 1: 1 orthologos. Paralogs are treated as a dangerous nuisance that has to …

Background The number of species with completed genomes, including those with evidence
for recent whole genome duplication events has exploded. The recently sequenced Atlantic …

The NAC family of transcription factors (TFs) is recognized as a significant group within the
plant kingdom, contributing crucially to managing growth and development processes in …

Ca2+ plays a crucial role as a secondary messenger in plant development and response to
abiotic/biotic stressors. Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs/CPKs) are essential …

Cyclic nucleotide gated channels (CNGCs) play multifaceted roles in plants, particularly with
respect to signaling processes associated with abiotic stress signaling and during host …

Background The ever-increasing wealth of genomic sequence information provides an
unprecedented opportunity for large-scale phylogenetic analysis. However, species …

Phylogenetic tree reconciliation is a powerful approach for inferring evolutionary events like
gene duplication, horizontal gene transfer, and gene loss, which are fundamental to our …
