An integrative approach to studying protein-protein interactions within the genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
… that are suspected to interact. Experimental approaches are quite expensive, yet still there are cases of wrongly identified protein-protein interactions. In this study, we predict PPIs computationally by exploiting known properties of proteins and PPIs and the requirement that proteins be …

Comparative phylogeography as an integrative approach to understand human and other mammal distributions in Europe.
Phylogeography refers to the phylogenetic analysis of organisms in the context of their geographical distribution. The analytical methods build phylogenetic trees and networks from haplotypes in order to investigate the history of the organisms. Phylogeographic studies have revealed the importance …
