GENOMICS , *GENOMES - Abstract
The most common way to calculate the rearrangement distance between two genomes is to use the size of a minimum length sequence of rearrangements that transforms one of the two given genomes into the other, where the genomes are represented as permutations using only their gene order, based on the assumption that genomes have the same gene content. With the advance of research in genome rearrangements, new works extended the classical models by either considering genomes with different gene content (unbalanced genomes) or including more genomic characteristics to the mathematical representation of the genomes, such as the distribution of intergenic regions sizes. In this study, we study the Reversal, Transposition, and Indel (Insertion and Deletion) Distance using intergenic information, which allows comparing unbalanced genomes, because indels are included in the rearrangement model (i.e., the set of possible rearrangements allowed when we compute the distance). For the particular case of transpositions and indels on unbalanced genomes, we present a 4-approximation algorithm, improving a previous 4.5 approximation. This algorithm is extended so as to deal with gene orientation and to maintain the 4-approximation factor for the Reversal, Transposition, and Indel Distance on unbalanced genomes. Furthermore, we evaluate the proposed algorithms using experiments on simulated data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

GENOMES , *COMPARATIVE genomics - Abstract
In the comparative genomics field, one way to infer the evolutionary distance between two organisms of related species is by finding the minimum number of large-scale mutations, called genome rearrangements, that transform one genome into the other. This number is referred to as the rearrangement distance. Since problems in this area emerged in the mid-1990s, several genome rearrangements have been proposed. Rearrangements that do not alter the genome content are called conservative, and in this group we have the following: the reversal, which inverts a segment of the genome; the transposition, which exchanges two consecutive segments; and the double cut and join, which cuts two different pairs of adjacent blocks and joins them differently. Seminal works compared genomes sharing the same set of conserved blocks, but nowadays, researchers started looking at genomes with unequal gene content, by allowing the use of nonconservative rearrangements such as insertion and deletion (jointly called indel). The transposition distance and the transposition and indel distance are both NP-hard. We investigate the transposition and indel distance and present a structure called labeled cycle graph, representing an instance of rearrangement distance problems for genomes with unequal gene content. This structure is used to devise a lower bound and a 2-approximation algorithm for the transposition and indel distance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

FEATURE extraction , *CHROMOSOME duplication - Abstract
Problems in the genome rearrangement field are often formulated in terms of pairwise genome comparison: given two genomes G 1 and G 2 , find the minimum number of genome rearrangements that may have occurred during the evolutionary process. This broad definition lacks at least two important considerations: the first being which features are extracted from genomes to create a useful mathematical model, and the second being which types of genome rearrangement events should be represented. Regarding the first consideration, seminal works in the genome rearrangement field solely used gene order to represent genomes as permutations of integer numbers, neglecting many important aspects like gene duplication, intergenic regions, and complex interactions between genes. Regarding the second consideration, some rearrangement events are widely studied such as reversals and transpositions. In this paper, we shed light on the first consideration and created a model that takes into account gene order and the number of nucleotides in intergenic regions. In addition, we consider events of reversals, transpositions, and indels (insertions and deletions) of genomic material. We present a 4-approximation algorithm for reversals and indels, a 4. 5 -approximation algorithm for transpositions and indels, and a 6-approximation for reversals, transpositions, and indels.

- Abstract
Genome Rearrangements are events that affect large stretches of genomes during evolution. Many mathematical models have been used to estimate the evolutionary distance between two genomes based on genome rearrangements. However, most of them focused on the (order of the) genes of a genome, disregarding other important elements in it. Recently, researchers have shown that considering regions between each pair of genes, called intergenic regions, can enhance distance estimation in realistic data. Two of the most studied genome rearrangements are the reversal, which inverts a sequence of genes, and the transposition, which occurs when two adjacent gene sequences swap their positions inside the genome. In this work, we study the transposition distance between two genomes, but we also consider intergenic regions, a problem we name Sorting by Intergenic Transpositions. We show that this problem is NP-hard and propose two approximation algorithms, with factors 3.5 and 2.5, considering two distinct definitions for the problem. We also investigate the signed reversal and transposition distance between two genomes considering their intergenic regions. This second problem is called Sorting by Signed Intergenic Reversals and Intergenic Transpositions. We show that this problem is NP-hard and develop two approximation algorithms, with factors 3 and 2.5. We check how these algorithms behave when assigning weights for genome rearrangements. Finally, we implemented all these algorithms and tested them on real and simulated data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

8. Heuristics for the Reversal and Transposition Distance Problem.

- Abstract
We present three heuristics-Sliding Window, Look Ahead, and Iterative Sliding Window-to improve solutions for the Sorting Signed Permutations by Reversals and Transpositions Problem. We investigate the classical version of the problem as well as versions restricted to prefix and prefix or suffix operations. To assess the heuristics based on its improvement, we implemented algorithms described in the literature to provide initial solutions. Although we have a limited number of problems, these heuristics can be applied to many others within the area of genome rearrangement. When time is a crucial factor, Sliding Window is a better choice because it runs in linear time. If the quality of the solution is a priority, Look Ahead should be preferred. Iterative Sliding Window is the most flexible heuristic and allows us to find a trade-off for specific scenarios where running time and solution quality are relevant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
