    J Mol Evol 65:456-62. 2007
    ..The results reported here indicate that most of the nonrandomness in the amino acids to codon assignments can be explained by incremental code evolution, with a small residue of orderliness that may reflect code adaptation...

    Center for Advanced Research in Biotechnology, University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute, Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA
    Mol Biol Evol 23:1852-62. 2006

  4. ncbi Bio::NEXUS: a Perl API for the NEXUS format for comparative biological data
    Thomas Hladish
    Center for Advanced Research in Biotechnology, Rockville, MD 20850, USA
    BMC Bioinformatics 8:191. 2007

    Arlin Stoltzfus
    Center for Advanced Research in Biotechnology, Rockville, MD 20850, USA
    J Hered 100:637-47. 2009
    ..To meet this challenge requires developing knowledge of mutation as a biological process, understanding how mutation imposes propensities on evolution, and applying methods of analysis that incorporate mutational effects...
