Approximating Reversal Distance for Strings with Bounded Number of Duplicates
For a string A = a1 . . . an, a reversal ρ(i, j), 1 ≤ i < j ≤ n, transforms the string A into a string A = a1 . . . ai−1ajaj−1 . . . aiaj+1 . . . an, that is, the reve...

Expected number of breakpoints after t random reversals in genomes with duplicate genes
In comparative genomics, one wishes to deduce the evolutionary distance between dierent species by studying their genomes. Using gene order information, we seek the number of time...
