| Abstract: | Background Analysis of genomes evolving via block-interchange events leads to a combinatorial problem of sorting by block-interchanges,
which has been studied recently to evaluate the evolutionary relationship in distance between two biological species since
block-interchange can be considered as a generalization of transposition. However, for genomes consisting of multiple chromosomes,
their evolutionary history should also include events of chromosome fusions and fissions, where fusion merges two chromosomes
into one and fission splits a chromosome into two. |
