Biol Direct 3:7. 2008..However, a non-negligible level of homoplasy was detected...
Pooled Genomic Indexing (PGI): analysis and design of experimentsMiklos Csuros
Département d informatique et de recherche opérationnelle, Universite de Montreal, CP 6128 Succ Centre Ville, Montreal, QC H3C 3J7, Canada
J Comput Biol 11:1001-21. 2004..The probabilistic model and the pooling schemes are validated in simulated experiments where 625 rat bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones and 207 mouse BAC clones are mapped onto homologous human sequence...
Count: evolutionary analysis of phylogenetic profiles with parsimony and likelihoodMiklos Csuros
Department of Computer Science and Operations Research, University of Montreal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Bioinformatics 26:1910-2. 2010..iro.umontreal.ca/ approximately csuros/gene_content/count.html. It can also be launched using Java Webstart from the same site. The software is distributed under a BSD-style license. Source code is available upon request from the author...
Streamlining and large ancestral genomes in Archaea inferred with a phylogenetic birth-and-death modelMiklos Csuros
Department of Computer Science and Operations Research, University of Montreal, Montreal, Canada
Mol Biol Evol 26:2087-95. 2009..It also suggests that early archaeal genomes were as complex as typical modern ones, and even show signs, in the case of the methanogenic ancestor, of an extremely large gene repertoire...
Malin: maximum likelihood analysis of intron evolution in eukaryotesMiklos Csuros
Department of Computer Science and Operations Research, University of Montreal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Bioinformatics 24:1538-9. 2008..Availability: Malin is available as a stand-alone Java application, as well as an application bundle for MacOS X, at the website http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~csuros/introns/malin/. The software is distributed under a BSD-style license...
Extremely intron-rich genes in the alveolate ancestors inferred with a flexible maximum-likelihood approachMiklos Csuros
Department of Computer Science and Operations Research, Universite de Montreal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Mol Biol Evol 25:903-11. 2008..It is suggested that, at early stages of evolution, chromalveolates went through major population bottlenecks that were accompanied by intron invasion...
Reconsidering the significance of genomic word frequenciesMiklos Csuros
Department of Computer Science and Operations Research, Universite de Montreal, 8, Succ Centre Ville, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Trends Genet 23:543-6. 2007..Our characterization of the entire frequency distribution of genomic words opens a way to a more accurate reasoning about their over- and underrepresentation in genomic sequences...

Department of Computer Science and Operations Research, Universite de Montreal, Succursale Centre Ville, Montreal, Quebec H3C 3J7, Canada
Mol Biol Evol 22:2457-71. 2005..We also describe how ancestral codons can be computed when the same gene produced multiple pseudogene homologs. We apply our methods to the evolution of human cytochrome c...

A detailed history of intron-rich eukaryotic ancestors inferred from a global survey of 100 complete genomesMiklos Csuros
Department of Computer Science and Operations Research, Universite de Montreal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
PLoS Comput Biol 7:e1002150. 2011..The reconstruction shows that the entire line of descent from LECA to mammals was intron-rich, a state conducive to the evolution of alternative splicing...
