Tandem Halving Problems by DCJ
نویسندگان
چکیده
We address the problem of reconstructing a non-duplicated ancestor to a partially duplicated genome in a model where duplicated content is caused by several tandem duplications throughout its evolution and the only allowed rearrangement operations are DCJ. As a starting point, we consider a variant of the Genome Halving Problem, aiming at reconstructing a tandem duplicated genome instead of the traditional perfectly duplicated genome. We provide a distance in O(n) time and a scenario in O(n) time. In an attempt to enhance our model, we consider several problems related to multiple tandem reconstruction. Unfortunately we show that although the problem of reconstructing a single tandem can be solved polynomially, it is already NP-hard for 2 tandems.

The Problem of Chromosome Reincorporation in DCJ Sorting and Halving
We study two problems in the double cut and join (DCJ) model: sorting – transforming one multilinear genome into another and halving – transforming a duplicated genome into a perfectly duplicated one. The DCJ model includes rearrangement operations such as reversals, translocations, fusions and fissions. We can also mimic transpositions or block interchanges by two operations: we extract an app...
متن کاملGenome Halving and Double Distance with Losses
Given a phylogenetic tree involving whole genome duplication events, we contribute to solving the problem of computing the rearrangement and double cut-and-join (DCJ) distances on a branch of the tree linking a duplication node d to a speciation node or a leaf s. In the case of a genome G at s containing exactly two copies of each gene, the genome halving problem is to find a perfectly duplicat...
متن کاملAn Exact Solver for the DCJ Median Problem
The "double-cut-and-join" (DCJ) model of genome rearrangement proposed by Yancopoulos et al. uses the single DCJ operation to account for all genome rearrangement events. Given three signed permutations, the DCJ median problem is to find a fourth permutation that minimizes the sum of the pairwise DCJ distances between it and the three others. In this paper, we present a branch-and-bound method ...
متن کاملPerfect DCJ Rearrangement
We study the problem of transforming a multichromosomal genome into another using Double-Cut-and-Join (DCJ) operations. We introduce the notion of DCJ scenario that does not break families of common intervals (groups of genes co-localized in both genomes). Such scenarios are called perfect, and generalize the notion of perfect reversal scenarios. While perfect sorting by reversals is NP-hard if...
متن کاملComputation of Perfect DCJ Rearrangement Scenarios with Linear and Circular Chromosomes
We study the problem of transforming a multichromosomal genome into another using Double Cut-and-Join (DCJ) operations, which simulates several types of rearrangements, as reversals, translocations, and block-interchanges. We introduce the notion of a DCJ scenario that does not break families of common intervals (groups of genes co-localized in both genomes). Such scenarios are called perfect, ...
