We present a new polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for tree alignment, which is an important variant of multiple sequence alignment. As in the existing PTASs in the liter...
Multiple sequence alignment is an important problem in computational biology. We study the Maximum Trace formulation introduced by Kececioglu [?]. We first phrase the problem in ...

A progressive alignment algorithm produces a multi-alignment of a set of sequences by repeatedly aligning pairs of sequences and/or previously generated alignments. We describe a ...
The paper studies the computational complexity and approximation algorithms for a new evolutionary distance between multi-chromosomal genomes introduced recently by Ferretti, Nade...

Algorithm development for comparing and aligning biological sequences has, until recently, been based on the SI model of mutational events which assumes that modi cation of sequen...
