The Gene Ontology (GO) project describes the functions of the gene products of organisms from all kingdoms of life in a standardized way, enabling powerful analyses of experiments involving genome-wide analysis. The scientific literature is used to c...
Birth-death (BD) models are widely used in combination with species phylogenies to study past diversification dynamics. Current inference approaches typically rely on likelihood-based methods. These methods are not generalizable, as a new likelihood ...
Phylogenetic tree inference is a classic fundamental task in evolutionary biology that entails inferring the evolutionary relationship of targets based on multiple sequence alignment (MSA). Maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) methods ...
Resolving phylogenetic relationships among taxa remains a challenge in the era of big data due to the presence of genetic admixture in a wide range of organisms. Rapidly developing sequencing technologies and statistical tests enable evolutionary rel...
Gradients of probabilistic model likelihoods with respect to their parameters are essential for modern computational statistics and machine learning. These calculations are readily available for arbitrary models via "automatic differentiation" implem...
Placing new sequences onto reference phylogenies is increasingly used for analyzing environmental samples, especially microbiomes. Existing placement methods assume that query sequences have evolved under specific models directly on the reference phy...
LTR-retrotransposons are the most abundant repeat sequences in plant genomes and play an important role in evolution and biodiversity. Their characterization is of great importance to understand their dynamics. However, the identification and classif...
Han Chinese, Korean and Japanese are the main populations of East Asia, and Han Chinese presents a gradient admixture from north to south. There are differences among the East Asian populations in genetic structure. To achieve fine-scale genetic clas...
The recent development of artificial intelligence provides us with new and powerful tools for studying the mysterious relationship between organism evolution and protein evolution. In this work, based on the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database (Alph...
BACKGROUND: Many biological properties of phages are determined by phage virion proteins (PVPs), and the poor annotation of PVPs is a bottleneck for many areas of viral research, such as viral phylogenetic analysis, viral host identification, and ant...
