Convergent evolution is a process by which different distantly related species can evolve the
same trait, usually involving adaptation to similar environments, and it is a widespread …

Plasmids are vessels of genetic exchange in microbial communities. They are known to
transfer between different host organisms and acquire diverse genetic elements from …

The inclusion of introgressive processes in evolutionary studies induces a less constrained
view of evolution. Network-based methods (like large-scale similarity networks) allow to …

Motivation: Finding biologically causative genotype–phenotype associations from whole-
genome data is difficult due to the large gene feature space to mine, the potential for …

At the conferences I have recently attended, it is remarkable to me that more and more of the
research presented is based upon large data sets with the ability to address very broad …

Sequencing genomes of different pathogenic fungi produced plethora of genetic information.
This “omics” data might be of great interest to probe strain diversity, identify virulence factors …

Networks offer a powerful tool for understanding and visualizing inter-species ecological
and evolutionary interactions. Previously considered examples, such as trophic networks …
