Approximating the true evolutionary distance between two genomes
As more and more genomes are sequenced, evolutionary biologists are becoming increasingly interested in evolution at the level of whole genomes, in scenarios in which the genome e...

Estimating true evolutionary distances under rearrangements, duplications, and losses
Background: The rapidly increasing availability of whole-genome sequences has enabled the study of whole-genome evolution. Evolutionary mechanisms based on genome rearrangements h...

Fast estimation of the difference between two PAM/JTT evolutionary distances in triplets of homologous sequences
Background: The estimation of the difference between two evolutionary distances within a triplet of homologs is a common operation that is used for example to determine which of t...

Estimating Genome Reversal Distance by Genetic Algorithm
Sorting by reversals is an important problem in inferring the evolutionary relationship between two genomes. The problem of sorting unsigned permutation has been proven to be NP-ha...
