Progressive Mauve: Multiple alignment of genomes with gene flux and rearrangement [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 Multiple genome alignment remains a challenging problem. Effects of recombination including rearrangement, segmental duplication, gain, and loss can create a mosaic pattern of homology even among closely related organisms. We describe a method to align two or more genomes that have undergone large-scale recombination, particularly genomes that have ...

Reconsidering the significance of genomic word frequency [PDF]
arXiv, 2006 We propose that the distribution of DNA words in genomic sequences can be primarily characterized by a double Pareto-lognormal distribution, which explains lognormal and power-law features found across all known genomes. Such a distribution may be the result of completely random sequence evolution by duplication processes.

Big Data: Astronomical or Genomical?
PLoS Biology, 2015 Genomics is a Big Data science and is going to get much bigger, very soon, but it is not known whether the needs of genomics will exceed other Big Data domains.

CGB: A UNIX shell program to create custom instances of the UCSC Genome Browser [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 The UCSC Genome Browser is a popular tool for the exploration and analysis of reference genomes. Mirrors of the UCSC Genome Browser and its contents exist at multiple geographic locations, and this mirror procedure has been modified to support genome sequences not maintained by UCSC and generated by individual researchers.
