The evolutionary history of protein families can be difficult to study because necessary ancestral molecules are often unavailable for direct observation. As an alternative, the field of computational phylogenetics has ...

Efficient large-scale scientific computing requires efficient code, yet optimizing code to render it efficient simultaneously renders the code less readable, less maintainable, less portable, and requires detailed knowledge ...

Every compiler passes code through several stages, each a sort of mini- compiler of its own. Thus each stage may deal with the code in a different representation, which may have little to do with the source or target ...
