Reconstruction of body mass evolution in the Cetartiodactyla and mammals using phylogenomic data
Peer Community Journal, 2021 Reconstructing ancestral characters on a phylogeny is an arduous task because the observed states at the tips of the tree correspond to a single realization of the underlying evolutionary process.

Bone Remodeling Process Based on Hydrostatic and Deviatoric Strain Mechano-Sensing
Biomimetics, 2022 A macroscopic continuum model intended to provide predictions for the remodeling process occurring in bone tissue is proposed. Specifically, we consider a formulation in which two characteristic stiffnesses, namely the bulk and shear moduli, evolve ...

Mutational induction in SARS-CoV-2 major lineages by experimental exposure to neutralising sera
Scientific Reports, 2022 The ongoing evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and the emergence of new viral variants bearing specific escape mutations responsible for immune evasion from antibody neutralisation has required a more accurate characterisation of the immune response as one of the ...

PlasForest: a homology-based random forest classifier for plasmid detection in genomic datasets
BMC Bioinformatics, 2021 Background Plasmids are mobile genetic elements that often carry accessory genes, and are vectors for horizontal transfer between bacterial genomes. Plasmid detection in large genomic datasets is crucial to analyze their spread and quantify their role in
