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...
This paper examines some of the rich structure of the syntenic distance model of evolutionary distance, introduced by Ferretti et al. (1996). The syntenic distance between two gen...
In this paper, we present a survey of the approximability and fixed-parameter tractability results for some Exemplar Genomic Distance problems. We mainly focus on three problems: ...
Computational genomics involves comparing sequences based on “similarity” for detecting evolutionary and functional relationships. Until very recently, available portions of th...
Motivation: The double cut and join operation (abbreviated as DCJ) has been extensively used for genomic rearrangement. Although the DCJ distance between signed genomes with both ...
