The Complexity of Inferring a Minimally Resolved Phylogenetic Supertree
Abstract. A recursive algorithm by Aho, Sagiv, Szymanski, and Ullman [1] forms the basis for many modern rooted supertree methods employed in Phylogenetics. However, as observed by...

Genomic Distance with DCJ and Indels
The double cut and join (DCJ) operation, introduced by Yancopoulos, Attie and Friedberg in 2005, allows one to represent most rearrangement events in genomes. However, a DCJ cannot...
