Abstract. Feature Extraction, also known as Multidimensional Scaling, is a basic primitive associated with indexing, clustering, nearest neighbor searching and visualization. We co...
Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a vital problem in biology. Optimal alignment of multiple sequences becomes impractical even for a modest number of sequences [1] since the gen...
Abstract. We consider the problem of approximating the average distance between pairs of points in a high-dimensional Euclidean space, and more generally in any metric space. We co...
The syntenic distance between two genomes is given by the minimum number of fusions, fissions, and translocations required to transform one into the other, ignoring the order of g...
A transposition is an operation that exchanges two adjacent substrings. When it is restricted so that one of the substrings is a prefix, it is called a prefix transposition. The p...
