Pattern Matching and Pattern Discovery Algorithms for Protein Topologies
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...

Finding an Optimal Inversion Median: Experimental Results
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...

Boosting EM for Radiation Hybrid and Genetic Mapping
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...

A Chemical-Distance-Based Test for Positive Darwinian Selection
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...

The Performance of Phylogenetic Methods on Trees of Bounded Diameter
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...

Comparing Assemblies Using Fragments and Mate-Pairs
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...

Algorithms for Finding Gene Clusters
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...

A Simple Hyper-Geometric Approach for Discovering Putative Transcription Factor Binding Sites
A central issue in molecular biology is understanding the regulatory mechanisms that control gene expression. The recent flood of genomic and postgenomic data opens the way for co...
