Conserved Interval Distance Computation Between Non-trivial Genomes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, several studies taking into account the ability for a gene to be absent or to have some copies in genomes have been proposed, as the examplar distance [11, 6] or the gene matching computation between two genomes [10, 3]. In this paper, we study the time complexity of the conserved interval distance computation considering duplicated genes using both those two strategies.

On the inapproximability of the exemplar conserved interval distance problem of genomes
In this paper we present two main results about the inapproximability of the exemplar conserved interval distance problem of genomes. First, we prove that it is NP-complete to decide whether the exemplar conserved interval distance between any two genomes is zero or not. This result implies that the exemplar conserved interval distance problem does not admit any approximation in polynomial time...
متن کاملThe breakpoint distance for signed sequences
We consider the problem of estimating the rearrangement distance in terms of reversals, insertion and deletion between two genomes, G and H with possibly multiple genes from the same gene family. We define a notion of breakpoint distance for this problem, based on matching genes from the same family between G and H. We show that this distance is a good approximation of the edit distance, but NP...
متن کاملNon Trivial Computations in Anonymous Dynamic Networks
In this paper we consider a static set of anonymous processes, i.e., they do not have distinguished IDs, that communicate with neighbors using a local broadcast primitive. The communication graph changes at each computational round with the restriction of being always connected, i.e., the network topology guarantees 1-interval connectivity. In such setting non trivial computations, i.e., answer...
متن کاملComputational methods to detect conserved non-genic elements in phylogenetically isolated genomes: application to zebrafish
Many important model organisms for biomedical and evolutionary research have sequenced genomes, but occupy a phylogenetically isolated position, evolutionarily distant from other sequenced genomes. This phylogenetic isolation is exemplified for zebrafish, a vertebrate model for cis-regulation, development and human disease, whose evolutionary distance to all other currently sequenced fish excee...
متن کاملSyDiG: uncovering Synteny in Distant Genomes
Current methods for detecting synteny work well for genomes with high degrees of inter- and intra-species chromosomal homology, such as mammals. This paper presents a new algorithm for synteny computation that is well suited to genomes covering a large evolutionary span. It is based on a three-step process: identification of initial microsyntenic homologous regions, extension of homologous boun...
