Fast estimation of the difference between two PAM/JTT evolutionary distances in triplets of homologous sequences
Background: The estimation of the difference between two evolutionary distances within a triplet of homologs is a common operation that is used for example to determine which of t...

Expected number of breakpoints after t random reversals in genomes with duplicate genes
In comparative genomics, one wishes to deduce the evolutionary distance between dierent species by studying their genomes. Using gene order information, we seek the number of time...

On the Structure of Syntenic Distance
This paper examines some of the rich structure of the syntenic distance model of evolutionary distance, introduced by Ferretti et al. (1996). The syntenic distance between two gen...
