Finding motifs in biological sequences is one of the most intriguing problems for string algorithms designers due to, on the one hand, the numerous applications of this problem in...
Motivation: Sequence-based methods for phylogenetic reconstruction from (nucleic acid) sequence data are notoriously plagued by two effects: homoplasies and alignment errors. Larg...

Background: The Z-curve is a three dimensional representation of DNA sequences proposed over a decade ago and has been extensively applied to sequence segmentation, horizontal gen...
Background: The estimation of the difference between two evolutionary distances within a triplet of homologs is a common operation that is used for example to determine which of t...
