PrePhyloPro: phylogenetic profile-based prediction of whole proteome linkages [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Direct and indirect functional links between proteins as well as their interactions as part of larger protein complexes or common signaling pathways may be predicted by analyzing the correlation of their evolutionary patterns.

Life-history evolution on tropidurinae lizards: influence of lineage, body size and climate. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The study of life history variation is central to the evolutionary theory. In many ectothermic lineages, including lizards, life history traits are plastic and relate to several sources of variation including body size, which is both a factor and a life ...

Inferring modules of functionally interacting proteins using the Bond Energy Algorithm
BMC Bioinformatics, 2008 Background Non-homology based methods such as phylogenetic profiles are effective for predicting functional relationships between proteins with no considerable sequence or structure similarity. Those methods rely heavily on traditional similarity metrics
