Sorting signed permutations by reversals is a fundamental problem in computationial molecular biology. In this paper we present an improved algorithm for sorting by reversals. Our...
Abstract. The understanding of genome rearrangements is an important endeavor in comparative genomics. A major computational problem in this field is finding a shortest sequence of...
Sorting is a fundamental algorithmic task. Many generalpurpose sorting algorithms have been developed, but efficiency gains can be achieved by designing algorithms for specific ki...
We study two problems in the double cut and join (DCJ) model: sorting – transforming one multilinear genome into another and halving – transforming a duplicated genome into a p...
For a large class of examples arising in statistical physics known as attractive spin systems (e.g., the Ising model), one seeks to sample from a probability distribution π on an...
