In fact, his name is not Damian Arredondo. 3 Soon after the...
متن کاملFour Strikes Against Physical Mapping of DNA
Physical mapping is a central problem in molecular biology and the human genome project. The problem is to reconstruct the relative position of fragments of DNA along the genome from information on their pairwise overlaps. We show that four simplified models of the problem lead to NP-complete decision problems: Colored unit interval graph completion, the maximum interval (or unit interval) subg...

That is, they supposedly find our results where they should not be found....
