Computational analysis of evolution and conservation in a protein superfamily.

Abstract excerpt

Many gene superfamilies have hundreds or thousands of members and hence pose a significant challenge when performing a large-scale phylogenetic analysis. Derivation of the most accurate alignment possible and inference of evolutionary relationships (with an appropriate measure of confidence) are significant "bottlenecks" in the process. A generally applicable strategy is outlined for identifying and aligning...
