Welcome!
XiaLab is a leading center of research and teaching in molecular evolution and phylogenetics, bioinformatics, genomics, transcriptomics, statistical modelling, genetics and molecular biology. We focus mainly on viruses and unicellular prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Do you have a few minutes to spare?
I am revising my "Bioinformatics and the cell" book which aims to offer detailed numerical illustration of commonly used algorithms in bioinformatics and molecular phylogenetics and to highlight their applications and limitations. I should greatly appreciate your comments on the following book chapters:
Chapter 7: Hidden Markov Models
Chapter 12: Nucleotide substitution models
Chapter 13 Amino acid substitution models
Chapter 14: Maximum parsimony methods
Chapter 15: Distance-based methods
Chapter 16: Maximum likelihood methods
Chapter 17: Comparative methods
