Improving Evolutionary Models for Mitochondrial Protein Data with Site-Class Specific Amino Acid Exchangeability Matrices
Dunn, Katherine A.; Jiang, Wenyi; Field, Christopher; Bielawski, Joseph P. (2013-01)Adequate modeling of mitochondrial sequence evolution is an essential component of mitochondrial phylogenomics (comparative mitogenomics). There is wide recognition within the field that lineage-specific aspects of ... -
Methods for selecting fixed-effect models for heterogeneous codon evolution, with comments on their application to gene and genome data
Bao, Le; Gu, Hong; Dunn, Katherine A.; Bielawski, Joseph P. (2007)Background: Models of codon evolution have proven useful for investigating the strength and direction of natural selection. In some cases, a priori biological knowledge has been used successfully to model heterogeneous ... -
Multilocus Genotyping Assays for Single Nucleotide Polymorphism-Based Subtyping of Listeria monocytogenes Isolates
Ward, Todd J.; Ducey, Thomas F.; Usgaard, Thomas; Dunn, Katherine A.; Bielawski, Joseph P. (2008-12)Listeria monocytogenes is responsible for serious invasive illness associated with consumption of contaminated food and places a significant burden on public health and the agricultural economy. We recently developed a ...
