    Daniel A Pollard
    Graduate Group in Biophysics, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA
    BMC Bioinformatics 7:376. 2006
    ..Yet how multiple alignment accuracy varies across sequence types, tree topologies, divergences and tools, and further how this variation impacts specific inferences, remains unclear...
  2. ncbi Large-scale turnover of functional transcription factor binding sites in Drosophila
    Alan M Moses
    Graduate Group in Biophysics, University of California Berkeley, Berkeley, California, United States of America
    PLoS Comput Biol 2:e130. 2006
    ..Finally, we show that binding-site gains and losses are asymmetrically distributed with respect to D. melanogaster, consistent with lineage-specific acquisition and loss of Zeste-responsive regulatory elements...

    Alan M Moses
    Graduate Group in Biophysics, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA
    Genome Biol 5:R98. 2004
    ..Using genomes from the genus Saccharomyces, we illustrate how the significance of real sites increases with evolutionary distance and explore the relationship between conservation and function...

    Daniel A Pollard
    Graduate Group in Biophysics, University of California Berkeley, Berkeley, California, USA
    PLoS Genet 2:e173. 2006
    ..Methods to infer the correct species tree, the history of every base in the genome, and comparative methods that control for and/or utilize this information will be valuable advancements for the field of comparative genomics...

    Daniel A Pollard
    Biophysics Graduate Group, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA
    BMC Bioinformatics 5:6. 2004
    ..For noncoding sequences, where such independent validation is lacking, simulation provides an effective means to generate "correct" alignments with which to benchmark alignment tools...
