MOTIVATION Finding genomic distance based on gene order is a classic problem in genome rearrangements. Efficient exact algorithms for genomic distances based on inversions and/or translocations have been found but are complicated by special cases, rare in simulations and empirical data. We seek a universal operation underlying a more inclusive set of evolutionary operations and yielding a tractable genomic distance with simple mathematical form. RESULTS We study a universal double-cut-and…

### Sorting by reversals, block interchanges, tandem duplications, and deletions

This paper presents a heuristic algorithm to sort an ancestral genome into a genome of a descendant (with arbitrary gene content) by reversals, block interchanges, tandem duplications, and deletions, where tandem duplication and deletion are of arbitrary size.

• Biology
2007 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
