Genomes are covered with ubiquitous 11 bp periodic patterns, the "class A flexible patterns"
Background: The genomes of prokaryotes and lower eukaryotes display a very strong 11 bp periodic bias in the distribution of their nucleotides. This bias is present throughout a g...

Systematic determination of the mosaic structure of bacterial genomes: species backbone versus strain-specific loops
Background: Public databases now contain multitude of complete bacterial genomes, including several genomes of the same species. The available data offers new opportunities to add...

A small trip in the untranquil world of genomes: A survey on the detection and analysis of genome rearrangement breakpoints
Genomes are dynamic molecules that are constantly undergoing mutations and rearrangements. The latter are large scale changes in a genome organisation that participate in the evol...

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...

On the inapproximability of the exemplar conserved interval distance problem of genomes
In this paper we present two main results about the inapproximability of the exemplar conserved interval distance problem of genomes. First, we prove that it is NP-complete to deci...

Multi-Break Rearrangements and Breakpoint Re-Uses: From Circular to Linear Genomes
Multi-break rearrangements break a genome into multiple fragments and further glue them together in a new order. While 2-break rearrangements represent standard reversals, fusions...
