A useful approach to the mathematical analysis of large-scale biological networks is based upon their decompositions into monotone dynamical systems. This paper deals with two computational problems associated to finding decompositions…
Genome assembly is a fundamental problem in Bioinformatics, requiring to reconstruct a source genome from an assembly graph built from a set of reads (short strings sequenced from the genome). A notion of genome assembly solution is that of…
