Evolutionary Body Building: Adaptive Physical Designs for Robots
Creating artificial life forms through evolutionary robotics faces a “chicken and egg” problem: learning to control a complex body is dominated by problems specific to its s...

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

A Heuristic Algorithm for Reconstructing Ancestral Gene Orders with Duplications
Accurately reconstructing the large-scale gene order in an ancestral genome is a critical step to better understand genome evolution. In this paper, we propose a heuristic algorith...

Stability of Rearrangement Measures in the Comparison of Genome Sequences
We present data-analytic and statistical tools for studying rates of rearrangement of whole genomes and to assess the stability of these methods with changes in the level of resol...

Significance Of inter-species matches when evolutionary rate varies
We develop techniques to estimate the statistical significance of gap-free alignments between two genomic DNA sequences, using human-mouse alignments as an example. The sequences ...
