A Linear Time Algorithm for an Extended Version of the Breakpoint Double Distance

Authors: Marília D. V. Braga, Leonie R. Brockmann, Katharina Klerx, and Jens Stoye

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 242, 22nd International Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics (WABI 2022)

Abstract
Two genomes over the same set of gene families form a canonical pair when each of them has exactly one gene from each family. A genome is circular when it contains only circular chromosomes. Different distances of canonical circular genomes can be derived from a structure called breakpoint graph, which represents the relation between the two given genomes as a collection of cycles of even length. Then, the breakpoint distance is equal to n-c_2, where n is the number of genes and c_2 is the number of cycles of length 2. Similarly, when the considered rearrangements are those modeled by the double-cut-and-join (DCJ) operation, the rearrangement distance is n-c, where c is the total number of cycles. The distance problem is a basic unit for several other combinatorial problems related to genome evolution and ancestral reconstruction, such as median or double distance. Interestingly, both median and double distance problems can be solved in polynomial time for the breakpoint distance, while they are NP-hard for the rearrangement distance. One way of exploring the complexity space between these two extremes is to consider a σ_k distance, defined to be n-(c_2+c_4+…+c_k), and increasingly investigate the complexities of median and double distance for the σ₄ distance, then the σ₆ distance, and so on. While for the median much effort was done in our and in other research groups but no progress was obtained even for the σ₄ distance, for solving the double distance under σ₄ and σ₆ distances we could devise linear time algorithms, which we present here.

Algorithms for Normalized Multiple Sequence Alignments

Authors: Eloi Araujo, Luiz C. Rozante, Diego P. Rubert, and Fábio V. Martinez

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 212, 32nd International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2021)

Abstract
Sequence alignment supports numerous tasks in bioinformatics, natural language processing, pattern recognition, social sciences, and other fields. While the alignment of two sequences may be performed swiftly in many applications, the simultaneous alignment of multiple sequences proved to be naturally more intricate. Although most multiple sequence alignment (MSA) formulations are NP-hard, several approaches have been developed, as they can outperform pairwise alignment methods or are necessary for some applications. Taking into account not only similarities but also the lengths of the compared sequences (i.e. normalization) can provide better alignment results than both unnormalized or post-normalized approaches. While some normalized methods have been developed for pairwise sequence alignment, none have been proposed for MSA. This work is a first effort towards the development of normalized methods for MSA. We discuss multiple aspects of normalized multiple sequence alignment (NMSA). We define three new criteria for computing normalized scores when aligning multiple sequences, showing the NP-hardness and exact algorithms for solving the NMSA using those criteria. In addition, we provide approximation algorithms for MSA and NMSA for some classes of scoring matrices.
