Cattle are divided into 2 groups referred to as taurine and indicine, both of which have been
under strong artificial selection due to their importance for human nutrition. A side effect of …

The breakpoint distance is one of the most straightforward genome comparison measures.
Surprisingly, when it comes to defining it precisely for multichromosomal genomes with both …

MLST (multi-locus sequence typing) is a classic technique for genotyping bacteria, widely
applied for pathogen outbreak surveillance. Traditionally, MLST is based on identifying …

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is a powerful tool for public health infectious disease
investigations owing to its higher resolution, greater efficiency, and cost-effectiveness over …

The Arthropodan Mitochondrial Genomes Accessible database (AMiGA) is a relational
database developed to help in managing access to the increasing amount of data arising from …

Algebraic rearrangement theory, as introduced by Meidanis and Dias, focuses on representing
the order in which genes appear in chromosomes, and applies to circular chromosomes …

We present the first two mitochondrial genomes of Muscidae dipterans for the species
Haematobia irritans (the horn fly) and Stomoxys calcitrans (the stable fly). Typical insect mtDNA …

Background The problem of reconstructing ancestral genomes in a given phylogenetic tree
arises in many different comparative genomics fields. Here, we focus on reconstructing the …

Recently, the Single-Cut-or-Join (SCJ) operation was proposed as a basis for a new
rearrangement distance between multichromosomal genomes, leading to very fast algorithms, both …

Background: Despite meticulous surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), relapse is
as high as 70% at 5 years. Many institutions do not conduct reflexive molecular testing on …
