Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics
This model represents structural rearrangements by the generic double cut and join (DCJ) operation and is then called family-free DCJ distance. ...
It computes the DCJ distance between the two genomes by searching for a matching of their genes based on the given pairwise similarities, therefore helping to find gene homologies. ...
