In this update paper, we present the latest developments in the OMA browser
knowledgebase, which aims to provide high-quality orthology inferences and facilitate the …

Chromosomal organization is relatively stable among avian species, especially with regards
to sex chromosomes. Members of the large Sylvioidea clade however have a pair of neo-sex …

Epigenetic components are hypothesized to be sensitive to the environment, which should
permit species to adapt to environmental changes. In wild populations, epigenetic variation …

Background New sequencing technologies have lowered financial barriers to whole
genome sequencing, but resulting assemblies are often fragmented and far from 'finished' …

In phylogenetics, reconciliation is an approach to connect the history of two or more
coevolving biological entities. The general idea of reconciliation is that a phylogenetic tree …

Motivation A reconciliation is an annotation of the nodes of a gene tree with evolutionary
events—for example, speciation, gene duplication, transfer, loss, etc.—along with a mapping …

The classical gene and species tree reconciliation, used to infer the history of gene gain and
loss explaining the evolution of gene families, assumes an independent evolution for each …

Comparative genomics considers the detection of similarities and differences between
extant genomes, and, based on more or less formalized hypotheses regarding the involved …

Background Epigenetic modifications are key factors modulating the expression of genes
involved in the synthesis of phytochemicals. The knowledge of plant epigenetic and genetic …

Reconciling gene trees with a species tree is a fundamental problem to understand the
evolution of gene families. Many existing approaches reconcile each gene tree …
