Abstract

Given n fragments from k 2 genomes, we will show how to find an optimal chain of colinear non-overlapping fragments in time O(nlogk-2 n log log n) and space O(n logk-2 n). Our result solves an open problem posed by Myers and Miller because it reduces the time complexity of their algorithm by a factor log2 n/log logn and the space complexity by a factor log n. For k = 2 genomes, our algorithm takes O(n log n) time and O(n) space.
