Epigenetic PaceMaker
Using Evolutionary frameworks to Study Epigenetic Aging - the Epigenetic PaceMaker In multiple studies DNA methylation has proven to be an accurate biomarker of age. To develop these biomarkers, the…
Universal PaceMaker of Genome Evolution
Universal PaceMaker of Genome Evolution Here we are collaborating with the Evolutionary Genomics group of Eugene Koonin at the NIH. We were awarded the BSF grant on a project tackling prokaryotic evolution,…
Tracing Prokaryotic Evolution via Ordered Orthology
Tracing Prokaryotic Evolution via Ordered Orthology It is generally believed that the exponentially accumulating genetic molecular data will bring us closer to resolving one of the most fundamental issues in…
MaxCut Supertree
MaxCut Supertree A quartet tree (or simply a quartet) is a tree over four taxa (species) that is the most basic phylogenetic building block - A tree can be decomposed…
Horizontal Gene Transfer
Horizontal Gene Transfer Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), the passage of genetic material between genetically distant organisms, is a significant factor in microbial evolution. HGT plays a major role in the…
Convex Recoloring of Trees and Networks
Convex Recoloring of Trees and Networks Definition: Given a necklace of colored beads, we say that the string is convex if all beads of the same color are in one chunk. In…
Statistical Analysis of Trees and Networks
Statistical Analysis of Phylogenetic Trees and Networks The study of Evolution and understanding the history of life on Earth, has attracted scientists’ attention since the dawn of modern science. Phylogenetics,…
