Abstract

An interval graph is the intersection graph of a collection of intervals. One important application of interval graph is physical mapping in genome research, that is, to reassemble the clones to determine the relative position of fragments of DNAalon g the genome. The linear time algorithm by Booth and Lueker (1976) for this problem has a serious drawback: the data must be error-free. However, laboratory work is never flawless. We devised a new iterative clustering algorithm for this problem, which can accommodate noisy data and produce a likely interval model realizing the original graph.
