Abstract

Measures of distance between genomic maps are inflated by high levels of noise due to incorrectly resolved paralogy and error at the mapping, sequencing and alignment levels. Comparison is also hampered by lack of information on gene orientation and lack gene order. We suggest a suite of algorithms for genome rearrangement analysis in the presence of noise and incomplete information, and test its robustness as noise levels increase.
