Assembling networks of microbial genomes using linear programming Catherine Holloway, Robert G Beiko BMC Evolutionary Biology 2010, 10:360 (20 November 2010) An approach that uses linear programming and BLAST scores to capture ‘between-genome’ relationships can uncover vertical and lateral relationships among genomes and serve as an effective inference tool in its own right.

Structural analysis of polarizing indels: an emerging consensus on the root of the tree of life Ruben E Valas, Philip E Bourne Biology Direct 2009, 4:30 (25 August 2009) This article is part of a collection on Evolutionary Biology 150... The disparate rootings of the tree of life by Cavalier-Smith and Lake et al. converge on a single root when polarizable indels are analyzed using protein structure.

Armen Y Mulkidjanian, Michael Y Galperin Biology Direct 2009, 4:27 (24 August 2009) The relatively high zinc content of living cells and its role as cofactor in many key enzymes and RNA structures might reflect the origin of life in zinc-rich environments.
