BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background Estimates of divergence dates between species improve our understanding of processes ranging from nucleotide substitution to speciation. Such estimates are frequently based on molecular genetic differences between species; therefore, they rely

bioRxiv, 2017 Primates have long been a test case for the development of phylogenetic methods for divergence time estimation. Despite a large number of studies, however, the timing of origination of crown Primates relative to the K-Pg boundary and the timing of ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Minimum copula divergence for robust estimation
Information GeometryThis paper introduces a robust estimation framework based solely on the copula function. We begin by introducing a family of divergence measures tailored for copulas, including the \(α\)-, \(β\)-, and \(γ\)-copula divergences, which quantify the discrepancy between a parametric copula model and an empirical copula derived from data independently of ...

Dual divergence estimators and tests: Robustness results
Journal of Multivariate Analysis, 2011 The class of dual $ϕ$-divergence estimators (introduced in Broniatowski and Keziou (2009) is explored with respect to robustness through the influence function approach. For scale and location models, this class is investigated in terms of robustness and asymptotic relative efficiency.

Electron transfer between complexes III and IV in S. cerevisiae mitochondrial membranes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in S. cerevisiae mitoplasts is limited by complex IV catalytic capacity, rather than two‐dimensional cytochrome c diffusion. At physiological cytochrome c : supercomplex ratios at salinity equivalent to that of 20 mm monovalent salt, activity is maximized, indicating that this low ionic strength accurately mimics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Graph-based Estimation of Information Divergence Functions [PDF]
, 2017 : Information divergence functions, such as the Kullback-Leibler divergence or the Hellinger distance, play a critical role in statistical signal processing and information theory; however estimating them can be challenge.
