Simultaneous Identification of Duplications and Lateral Gene Transfers
IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, 2010 The incongruency between a gene tree and a corresponding species tree can be attributed to evolutionary events such as gene duplication and gene loss. This paper describes a combinatorial model where so-called DTL-scenarios are used to explain the differences between a gene tree and a corresponding species tree taking into account gene duplications ...

Lateral Transfer of Genes and Gene Fragments in Prokaryotes [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2009 Lateral genetic transfer (LGT) involves the movement of genetic material from one lineage into another and its subsequent incorporation into the new host genome via genetic recombination. Studies in individual taxa have indicated lateral origins for stretches of DNA of greatly varying length, from a few nucleotides to chromosome size. Here we analyze 1,

Evolutionary mechanisms for camouflage in Cladomorphus phyllinus (Phasmatodea): A reflection on the role of evidence for hypotheses proposition [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2020 We address and discuss some of the many flaws exhibited by Costa et al. (2019) which tried to explain the twig-like camouflage of Cladomorphus phyllinus. Given the lack of both empirical and theoretical underpinnings in Costa et al.

Inferring Species Trees from Incongruent Multi-Copy Gene Trees Using the Robinson-Foulds Distance [PDF]
, 2012 We present a new method for inferring species trees from multi-copy gene trees. Our method is based on a generalization of the Robinson-Foulds (RF) distance to multi-labeled trees (mul-trees), i.e., gene trees in which multiple leaves can have the same ...

Overview on possible causes of COVID-19 [PDF]
The Moldovan Medical Journal, 2022 Background: The infection with the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has caused a large number of cases of disease and death worldwide. Identifying the source of COVID-19 is an important issue though still unresolved.

Quantifying the Extent of Lateral Gene Transfer Required to Avert a `Genome of Eden' [PDF]
, 2009 The complex pattern of presence and absence of many genes across different species provides tantalising clues as to how genes evolved through the processes of gene genesis, gene loss and lateral gene transfer (LGT).
