Phylogenomics aims at reconstructing the evolutionary histories of organisms taking into
account whole genomes or large fractions of genomes. Phylogenomics has significant …

Orthology inference is central to phylogenomic analyses. Phylogenomic data sets commonly
include transcriptomes and low-coverage genomes that are incomplete and contain errors …

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 …

Abstract Quest for Orthologs (QfO) is a community effort with the goal to improve and
benchmark orthology predictions. As quality assessment assumes prior knowledge on …

Background While full genome sequences are still only available for a handful of taxa, large
collections of partial gene sequences are available for many more. The alignment of partial …

With the advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies, the rapid generation and
accumulation of large amounts of sequencing data pose an insurmountable demand for …

Background Phylogenetic analyses based on datasets rich in both genes and species
(phylogenomics) are becoming a standard approach to resolve evolutionary questions …

Arthropods were the first animals to conquer land and air. They encompass more than three
quarters of all described living species. This extraordinary evolutionary success is based on …

Abstract Composition Vector Tree (CVTree) implements a systematic method of inferring
evolutionary relatedness of microbial organisms from the oligopeptide content of their …

Phylogenomics aims at reconstructing the evolutionary histories of organisms taking into
account whole genomes or large fractions of genomes. The abundance of genomic data for …
