Our ultimate aim is to design an algorithm that generates the most parsimonious tree where extant texts may be ancestors of other texts. The algorithm accepts a set of extant manuscripts or a multiple alignment of such ...

In the field of textual criticism, scholars use stemmatics in order to recreate an extinct original text from a collection of extant copied texts. Stemmatic trees are used to represent the relationship between extant and ...

Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of a set of species, represented in the form of a tree. Construction of phylogenetic trees has traditionally focused on binary trees where all species appear on leaves. However, certain ...

High throughput screening methods for proteins with improved properties (thermostability, binding affinity, catalytic activity) require evaluating large, diverse combinatorial libraries. This project focuses on algorithms ...

In this project, we created a computer simulation to emulate the conditions of natural choruses and previous playback experiments performed in the field. We also created a training program to employ machine learning ...
