A First-Order Variable Metric Method Invariant to Strictly Increasing Function Value Transformations
Incorporating multiple elements of evolution strategies, a first-order variable metric method for unconstrained optimization that is invariant to strictly increasing function value transformations is proposed. The ... -
GANN: Genetic algorithm neural networks for the detection of conserved combinations of features in DNA
BACKGROUND:The multitude of motif detection algorithms developed to date have largely focused on the detection of patterns in primary sequence. Since sequence-dependent DNA structure and flexibility may also play a role ... -

Lecture notes for the course CSCI 3110 ("Design and Analysis of Algorithms") offered at Dalhousie during the summer term of 2021. -
Phylogenetic identification of lateral genetic transfer events
BACKGROUND:Lateral genetic transfer can lead to disagreements among phylogenetic trees comprising sequences from the same set of taxa. Where topological discordance is thought to have arisen through genetic transfer events, ...
