Auricularia cornea is an important edible mushroom crop in China but the occurrence of cobweb disease has cause significance economic loss in its production. The rate of disease occurrence is 16.65% all over the country. In the present study, a new p...
Macroevolution can be regarded as the result of evolutionary changes of synergistically acting genes. Unfortunately, the importance of these genes in macroevolution is difficult to assess and hence the identification of macroevolutionary key genes is...
The trends of the last 20 years in biotechnology were revealed using artificial intelligence and natural language processing (NLP) of publicly available data. Implementing this "science-of-science" approach, we capture convergent trends in the field ...
MOTIVATION: Simulating multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) using probabilistic models of sequence evolution plays an important role in the evaluation of phylogenetic inference tools and is crucial to the development of novel learning-based approaches...

A phylogenetic graph search relies on a large number of highly parameterized search procedures (e.g. branch-swapping, perturbation, simulated annealing, genetic algorithm). These procedures vary in effectiveness over datasets and at alternative point...
The increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance in Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) requires the search for alternative therapeutic strategies. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) offer a promising avenue for the development of new treatments targeting C....
Machine learning has increasingly been applied to a wide range of questions in phylogenetic inference. Supervised machine learning approaches that rely on simulated training data have been used to infer tree topologies and branch lengths, to select s...
The global spread of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, originating in Wuhan, China, has had profound consequences on both health and the economy. Traditional alignment-based phylogenetic tree methods for tracking epidemic dynamics demand substantial computati...

We show that an iterative ansatz of deep learning and human intelligence guided simplification may lead to surprisingly simple solutions for a difficult problem in phylogenetics. Distinguishing Farris and Felsenstein trees is a longstanding problem i...
Analysis of phylogenetic trees has become an essential tool in epidemiology. Likelihood-based methods fit models to phylogenies to draw inferences about the phylodynamics and history of viral transmission. However, these methods are often computation...
