Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: Reconstruction of gene-content evolutionary history is fundamental in studying the evolution of genomes and biological systems. To reconstruct plausible evolutionary history, rates of gene gain/loss should be estimated by considering the high level of heterogeneity: e.g. genome duplication and parasitization, respectively, result in high rates of gene gain and loss. Gene-content evolution...
