Transformation of Competent cells: Transformation is the process of introducing foreign DNA (e.g plasmids, BAC) into a bacterium. Bacterial cells into which foreign DNA can be transformed are called competent.
Tree inference at the T-REX server: The most comprehensive web server version includes methods for Visualization and interactive manipulation of phylogenetic trees (using Hierarchical, Radial and Axial types of drawing); Inference of phylogenetic trees using distance (NJ, BioNJ, UNJ, ADDTREE, MW, FITCH, Circular order reconstruction),parsimony (DNAPARS, PROTPARS, PARS, DOLLOP) and maximum likelihood (PHYML, DNAML, DNAMLK, PROML, PROMLK) based approaches; Inference of phylogenetic trees form incomplete distance matrices; Inference of phylogenetic networks (i.e. Reticulograms); Detection of horizontal gene transfers; Multiple sequence alignment (ClustalW), Sequence to distance transformations(using Uncorrected, Jukes-Cantor, Tajima-Nei, Kimura 2-parameter, Tamura, Jin-Nei gamma, Kimura protein, LogDet and F84 distances); Computation of the Robison and Foulds topological distance between two or more trees. The program can also carry out bootstrap and jackknife resampling to assess strength of support of the tree and network branches.
