Polyploidy, defined as the coexistence of three or more complete sets of chromosomes in an
organism's cells, is considered as a pivotal moving force in the evolutionary history of …

The duplication of an entire genome is no small affair. Whole genome duplication (WGD) is
a dramatic mutation with long-lasting effects, yet it occurs repeatedly in all eukaryotic …

Polyploidy, or whole genome duplication, is recognized as an important feature of eukaryotic
genome evolution. Among eukaryotes, polyploidy has probably had the largest evolutionary …

Many examples of phenotypic modifications resulting from high‐elevation adaptation have
been documented, however, the underlying processes responsible for these modifications …

Assembling the tree of life is one of the grand challenges in computational biology. A wide
majority of phylogenetic analyses for the tree of life combine genomic sequences, from …

Motivation: Deciphering the location of gene duplications and multiple gene duplication
episodes on the Tree of Life is fundamental to understanding the way gene families and …

A common problem in phylogenetics is to try to infer a species phylogeny from gene trees.
We consider different variants of this problem. The first variant, called UNRESTRICTED …

An important issue in evolutionary molecular biology is to discover genomic duplication
episodes and their correspondence to the species tree. Existing approaches vary in the two …

Syntenies are genomic segments of consecutive genes identified by a certain conservation
in gene content and order. The notion of conservation may vary from one definition to …

We present a novel problem, called MetaEC, which aims to infer gene-species assignments
in a collection of partially leaf-labeled gene trees labels by minimizing the size of duplication …
