This paper proposes an evolutionary algorithm (EA) that is applied to the traveling salesman problem (TSP). Existing approximation methods to address the TSP known to be state-of-t...
In the STS-based mapping, we are requested to obtain the correct order of probes in a DNA sequence from a given set of fragments or equivalently a hybridization matrix A. It is wel...
We study the performance issue of the “iterative” record linkage (RL) problem, where match and merge operations may occur together in iterations until convergence emerges. We ...
In physical mapping, one orders a set of genetic landmarks or a library of cloned fragments of DNA according to their position in the genome. Our approach to physical mapping divi...
—We study the problem of merging genetic maps, when the individual genetic maps are given as directed acyclic graphs. The computational problem is to build a consensus map, which...
