Escherichia coli is a species of bacteria that can be present in a wide variety of mammalian hosts and potentially soil environments. E. coli has an open genome and can show considerable diversity in gene content between isolates. It is a reasonable ...
MOTIVATION: The ability to develop robust machine-learning (ML) models is considered imperative to the adoption of ML techniques in biology and medicine fields. This challenge is particularly acute when data available for training is not independent ...
Maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony are two key methods for phylogenetic tree reconstruction. Under certain conditions, each of these two methods can perform more or less efficiently, resulting in unresolved or disputed phylogenies. We show that...
Statistical criteria have long been the standard for selecting the best model for phylogenetic reconstruction and downstream statistical inference. Although model selection is regarded as a fundamental step in phylogenetics, existing methods for this...
The problem of the theoretical precariousness of psychology requires defining, at an epistemological level, its concepts and languages and the use of models for finding core concepts and building more or less 'hard' theories. After reviewing some mai...
MOTIVATION: Accurate probabilistic models of sequence evolution are essential for a wide variety of bioinformatics tasks, including sequence alignment and phylogenetic inference. The ability to realistically simulate sequence evolution is also at the...
Phylogenetic inference is of fundamental importance to evolutionary as well as other fields of biology, and molecular sequences have emerged as the primary data for this task. Although many phylogenetic methods have been developed to explicitly take ...
Reconstructing the phylogenetic relationships between species is one of the most formidable tasks in evolutionary biology. Multiple methods exist to reconstruct phylogenetic trees, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Both simulation and emp...
The BiGG Models knowledge base (http://bigg.ucsd.edu) is a centralized repository for high-quality genome-scale metabolic models. For the past 12 years, the website has allowed users to browse and search metabolic models. Within this update, we detai...
Rapid and reliable identification of insects is important in many contexts, from the detection of disease vectors and invasive species to the sorting of material from biodiversity inventories. Because of the shortage of adequate expertise, there has ...
