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…
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…
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…
Early literature on genome rearrangement modelling views the problem of computing evolutionary distances as an inherently combinatorial one. In particular, attention was given to estimating distances using the minimum number of events…
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…
Understanding the dynamics of genome rearrangements is a major issue of phylogenetics. Phylogenetics is the study of species evolution. A major goal of the field is to establish evolutionary relationships within groups of species, in order…
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.…
Of the many modern approaches to calculating evolutionary distance via models of genome rearrangement, most are tied to a particular set of genomic modelling assumptions and to a restricted class of allowed rearrangements. The "position…
Considering a pair of genomes, the goal of rearrangement distance problems is to estimate how distant these genomes are from each other based on genome rearrangements. Seminal works in genome rearrangements assumed that both genomes being…
The gene family-free framework for comparative genomics aims at developing methods for gene order analysis that do not require prior gene family assignment, but work directly on a sequence similarity multipartite graph. We present a model…
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 edit distance under the DCJ model can be computed in linear time for genomes with equal content or with Indels. But it becomes NP-Hard in the presence of duplications, a problem largely unsolved especially when Indels are considered. In…
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…
We investigate the symmetry of circular genome rearrangement models, discuss the implementation of a new representation-theoretic method of calculating evolutionary distances between circular genomes, and give the results of some initial…
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 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…
Genomic distance between two genomes, i.e., the smallest number of genome rearrangements required to transform one genome into the other, is often used as a measure of evolutionary closeness of the genomes in comparative genomics studies.…
The study of genome rearrangement has many flavours, but they all are somehow tied to edit distances on variations of a multi-graph called the breakpoint graph. We study a weighted 2-break distance on Eulerian 2-edge-colored multi-graphs,…
Establishing a distance between genomes is a significant problem in computational genomics, because its solution can be used to establish evolutionary relationships including phylogeny. The "double cut and join" (DCJ) model of chromosomal…
The ability to estimate the evolutionary distance between extant genomes plays a crucial role in many phylogenomic studies. Often such estimation is based on the parsimony assumption, implying that the distance between two genomes can be…
