—Differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy is a powerful visualization tool used to study live biological cells. Its use, however, has been limited to qualitative obser...
We describe algorithms for pattern matching and pattern learning in TOPS diagrams (formal descriptions of protein topologies). These problems can be reduced to checking for subgrap...
We derive a branch-and-bound algorithm to find an optimal inversion median of three signed permutations. The algorithm prunes to manageable size an extremely large search tree usi...
Radiation hybrid (RH) mapping is a somatic cell technique that is used for ordering markers along a chromosome and estimating physical distances between them. It nicely complements...

There are very few instances in which positive Darwinian selection has been convincingly demonstrated at the molecular level. In this study, we present a novel test for detecting p...

We study the convergence rates of neighbor-joining and several new phylogenetic reconstruction methods on families of trees of bounded diameter. Our study presents theoretically ob...

We develop fast algorithms for computing the linking number of a simplicial complex within a filtration. We give experimental results in applying our work toward the detection of...
Using current technology, large consecutive stretches of DNA (such as whole chromosomes) are usually assembled from short fragments obtained by shotgun sequencing, or from fragment...

Abstract. Comparing gene orders in completely sequenced genomes is a standard approach to locate clusters of functionally associated genes. Often, gene orders are modeled as permut...
