Being Aquifex aeolicus: Untangling a hyperthermophile's Checkered Past
(2012-01-03)Lateral gene transfer (LGT) is an important factor contributing to the evolution of prokaryotic genomes. The Aquificae are a hyperthermophilic bacterial group whose genes show affiliations to many other lineages, including ... -
Common Structure Among Maximum Agreement Forests of Phylogenetic Trees
(2021-09-01)Reconciling sets of phylogenetic trees has become a problem of particular interest in both theoretical computer science and bioinformatics. The use of the maximum agreement forest as a tool by which to attain insight into ... -
Efficient Computation and Application of Maximum Agreement Forests
(2013-08-15)Rampant lateral gene transfer (LGT) among prokaryotes, hybridization in plants and other reticulate evolutionary processes invalidate typical phylogenetic tree models by violating the assumption that organisms only inherit ... -
The Genome of Blastocystis sp. Isolated from the Oriental cockroach
(2019-11-28)Blastocystis spp. are unicellular anaerobic stramenopiles that inhabit the colons of a wide range of animals. Previous genome studies of Blastocystis were restricted to mammalian and avian-colonizing subtypes. To investigate ...
