Genome assembly reborn: recent computational challenges.

abstract：:Computational aspects of host-parasite phylogenies form part of a set of general associations between areas and organisms, hosts and parasites, and species and genes. The problem is not new and the commonalities of exploring vicariance biogeography (organisms tracking areas) and host-parasite co-speciation (parasites ...
