The genome of 130 mammals was sequenced by a large international consortium and the data was analyzed together with 110 existing genomes to allow scientists to identify the important positions in the DNA.

A fully funded 4-year Postdoc position is available in the lab of Patrick Tschopp at the University of Basel, Switzerland, study the molecular and tissue-scale dynamics during the embryonic formation of the vertebrate skeleton and compare it...

In graph theory, a string graph is an intersection graph of curves in the plane; each curve is called a "string". String graphs were first proposed by E. W. Myers in a 2005 publication.

mummer4.github.io - MUMmer4, a substantially improved version of MUMmer that addresses genome size constraints by changing the 32-bit suffix tree data structure at the core of MUMmer to a 48-bit suffix array, and that offers improved speed through parallel processing...
