A central problem in comparative genomics consists in computing a (dis-)similarity measure between two genomes, e.g. in order to construct a phylogeny. All the existing measures are defined on genomes without duplicates. However, we know…
The computation of genomic distances has been a very active field of computational comparative genomics over the last 25 years. Substantial results include the polynomial-time computability of the inversion distance by Hannenhalli and…
The inversion distance, that is the distance between two unichromosomal genomes with the same content allowing only inversions of DNA segments, can be exactly computed thanks to a pioneering approach of Hannenhalli and Pevzner from 1995. In…
In this work, we explore heuristics for the Adjacency Graph Packing problem, which can be applied to the Double Cut and Join (DCJ) Distance Problem. The DCJ is a rearrangement operation and the distance problem considering it is a well…
Genome rearrangement has been an active area of research in computational comparative genomics for the last three decades. While initially mostly an interesting algorithmic endeavor, now the practical application by applying rearrangement…
A classical problem in comparative genomics is to compute the rearrangement distance, that is the minimum number of large-scale rearrangements required to transform a given genome into another given genome. While the most traditional…
Several measures exist for string similarity, including notable ones like the edit distance and the indel distance. The former measures the count of insertions, deletions, and substitutions required to transform one string into another,…
During cancer progression, malignant cells accumulate somatic mutations that can lead to genetic aberrations. In particular, evolutionary events akin to segmental duplications or deletions can alter the copy-number profile (CNP) of a set of…
Two genomes over the same set of gene families form a canonical pair when each of them has exactly one gene from each family. Different distances of canonical genomes can be derived from a structure called breakpoint graph, which represents…
In comparative genomics, the rearrangement distance between two genomes (equal the minimal number of genome rearrangements required to transform them into a single genome) is often used for measuring their evolutionary remoteness.…
Genome rearrangement distances are an established method in genome comparison. Works in this area may include various rearrangement operations representing large-scale mutations, gene orientation information, the number of nucleotides in…
Genome rearrangements are events where large blocks of DNA exchange places during evolution. The analysis of these events is a promising tool for understanding evolutionary genomics, providing data for phylogenetic reconstruction based on…
Given two genomes with duplicate genes, \textsc{Zero Exemplar Distance} is the problem of deciding whether the two genomes can be reduced to the same genome without duplicate genes by deleting all but one copy of each gene in each genome.…
The circular median problem in the Double-Cut-and-Join (DCJ) distance asks to find, for three given genomes, a fourth circular genome that minimizes the sum of the mutual distances with the three other ones. This problem has been shown to…
Generative models have achieved remarkable success across a range of applications, yet their evaluation still lacks principled uncertainty quantification. In this paper, we develop a method for comparing how close different generative…
Genome rearrangements are events in which large blocks of DNA exchange pieces during evolution. The analysis of such events is a tool for understanding evolutionary genomics, based on finding the minimum number of rearrangements to…
Error-tolerant graph matching gathers an important family of problems. These problems aim at finding correspondences between two graphs while integrating an error model. In the Graph Edit Distance (GED) problem, the insertion/deletion of…
This study investigates efficient deduplication techniques for a large NLP dataset of economic research paper titles. We explore various pairing methods alongside established distance measures (Levenshtein distance, cosine similarity) and a…
In computational biology, tandem duplication is an important biological phenomenon which can occur either at the genome or at the DNA level. A tandem duplication takes a copy of a genome segment and inserts it right after the segment - this…
A tandem duplication denotes the process of inserting a copy of a segment of DNA adjacent to its original position. More formally, a tandem duplication can be thought of as an operation that converts a string $S = AXB$ into a string $T =…
