PQ, a new program for phylogeny reconstruction

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2018
Background Many algorithms and programs are available for phylogenetic reconstruction of families of proteins. Methods used widely at present use either a number of distance-based principles or character-based principles of maximum parsimony or maximum ...

A phylogenomic appraisal of the evolutionary relationship of mycoplasmas

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2007
Several genomes of mycoplasmas have been sequenced and here we tried to retrieve the evolutionary relationships of nine species using a phylogenomic approach.

Well-Behaved Variants Seldom Make the Apparatus: Stemmata and Apparatus in Digital Research

open access: yesDigital Medievalist, 2021
This article describes computer-assisted methods for the analysis of textual variation within large textual traditions. It focuses on the conversion of the XML apparatus into NEXUS, a file type commonly used in bioinformatics. Phylogenetics methods are

An efficient exact algorithm for computing all pairwise distances between reconciliations in the duplication-transfer-loss model

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2019
Background Maximum parsimony reconciliation in the duplication-transfer-loss model is widely used in studying the evolutionary histories of genes and species and in studying coevolution of parasites and their hosts and pairs of symbionts. While efficient

Assessing the accuracy of ancestral protein reconstruction methods.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2006
The phylogenetic inference of ancestral protein sequences is a powerful technique for the study of molecular evolution, but any conclusions drawn from such studies are only as good as the accuracy of the reconstruction method.

Mosasauroid phylogeny under multiple phylogenetic methods provides new insights on the evolution of aquatic adaptations in the group. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Mosasauroids were a successful lineage of squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes) that radiated during the Late Cretaceous (95-66 million years ago). They can be considered one of the few lineages in the evolutionary history of tetrapods to have acquired ...

Statistical parsimony networks and species assemblages in Cephalotrichid nemerteans (nemertea). [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that statistical parsimony network analysis could be used to get an indication of species represented in a set of nucleotide data, and the approach has been used to discuss species boundaries in some taxa.

Preferences for post‐traumatic osteoarthritis prevention strategies in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament injury

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives There is growing interest in evaluating new strategies to delay or prevent post‐traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) in individuals who have sustained anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. This study sought to determine characteristics of potential treatments that are acceptable to patients with ACL injury.
