Reconstructing the evolutionary relationships of species is a major goal in biology. Despite
the increasing number of completely sequenced genomes, a large number of phylogenetic …

The combination of molecular sequence data and bioinformatics has revolutionized
phylogenetic inference over the past decade, vastly increasing the scope of the evolutionary …

Background Phylogenetic analysis of large, multiple-gene datasets, assembled from public
sequence databases, is rapidly becoming a popular way to approach difficult phylogenetic …

Background Species phylogenies are not estimated directly, but rather through phylogenetic
analyses of different gene datasets. However, true gene trees can differ from the true …

Phylogenomic databases provide orthology predictions for species with fully sequenced
genomes. Although the goal seems well-defined, the content of these databases differs …

The incongruence between the gene trees and species remains a challenge in molecular
phylogenetics. In this work, we propose a novel microarray approach to resolve this problem …

Phylogenomics is the analysis of genomes of a group of closely related species. Almost all
functional prediction methods rely on the identification, characterisation and quantification of …

Background Phylogenetic studies using expressed sequence tags (EST) are becoming a
standard approach to answer evolutionary questions. Such studies are usually based on …

As more complete genomes are sequenced, phylogenetic analysis is entering a new era—
that of phylogenomics. One branch of this expanding field aims to reconstruct the …

Phylogenetics is the field of evolutionary biology that studies the evolutionary relationships
between species through morphological and molecular data. These relationships can be …
