Scarabaeine dung beetles are the dominant dung feeding group of insects and are widely used as model organisms in conservation, ecology and developmental biology. Due to the conflicts among 13 recently published phylogenies dealing with the higher-le...
MOTIVATION: Self-organizing maps (SOMs) are readily available bioinformatics methods for clustering and visualizing high-dimensional data, provided that such biological information is previously transformed to fixed-size, metric-based vectors. To inc...
Reconstructing the diets of extinct taxa is essential for understanding their ecologies and evolutionary histories, yet traditional methods and proxies such as molar morphology have limited resolution. The potential of premolar morphology as a dietar...

The evolutionary dynamics of color pattern diversification in animals is strongly influenced by visual interactions within and among species. While much attention has been given to color pattern variation in the human-visible range, perception outsid...
subsp. () causes Johne's disease (JD), a chronic infection responsible for considerable economic losses to dairy industries worldwide. Genetically clonal, has evolved into three distinct genetic lineages designated CII, for bovine strains, and SI ...
Deep learning has previously shown success in automatically generating morphological traits that carry a phylogenetic signal. In this paper, we explore combining molecular data with deep learning derived morphological traits from images of pinned ins...
Biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), key in synthesizing microbial secondary metabolites, are mostly hidden in microbial genomes and metagenomes. To unearth this vast potential, we present BGC-Prophet, a transformer-based language model for BGC predict...
Phylogenetic inference aims at reconstructing the tree describing the evolution of a set of sequences descending from a common ancestor. The high computational cost of state-of-the-art maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods limits their us...
This study presents a dual investigation of Salmonella enterica subspecies I, focusing on serovar prediction and core genome characteristics. We utilized two large genomic datasets (panX and NCBI Pathogen Detection) to test machine learning methods f...
Amino acid substitution models play an important role in studying the evolutionary relationships among species from protein sequences. The amino acid substitution model consists of a large number of parameters; therefore, it is estimated from hundred...
