A New Genomic Evolutionary Model for Rearrangements, Duplications, and Losses that Applies across Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes

Bernard Moret, Yu Lin

Genomic rearrangements have been studied since the beginnings of modern genetics and models for such rearrangements have been the subject of many papers over the last 10 years. However, none of the extant models can predict the evolution of genomic organiz ...

A Metric for Phylogenetic Trees Based on Matching

Bernard Moret, Yu Lin, Vaibhav Rajan

Comparing two or more phylogenetic trees is a fundamental task in computational biology. The simplest outcome of such a comparison is a pairwise measure of similarity, dissimilarity, or distance. A large number of such measures have been proposed, but so f ...

Fast and accurate phylogenetic reconstruction from high-resolution whole-genome data and a novel robustness estimator

Bernard Moret, Yu Lin, Vaibhav Rajan

The rapid accumulation of whole-genome data has renewed interest in the study of genomic rearrangements. Comparative genomics, evolutionary biology, and cancer research all require models and algorithms to elucidate the mechanisms, history, and consequence ...

Fast ions in mode conversion heating (He-3)-H plasmas in JET

Mikhail Maslov, Yu Lin

Fast ions were analysed in experiments focusing on fundamental He-3 minority and mode conversion (MC) in the ion cyclotron resonance range of frequencies (ICRF) in H plasmas and on second harmonic heating of He-3 ions at 2.65 T mimicking D-T plasma heating ...

Minority and mode conversion heating in (He-3)-H JET plasmas

Mikhail Maslov, Yu Lin

Radio frequency (RF) heating experiments have recently been conducted in JET (He-3)-H plasmas. This type of plasmas will be used in ITER's non-activated operation phase. Whereas a companion paper in this same PPCF issue will discuss the RF heating scenario ...

Sorting signed permutations by inversions in O(nlogn) time

Bernard Moret, Yu Lin, Krister Swenson, Vaibhav Rajan

The study of genomic inversions (or reversals) has been a mainstay of computational genomics for nearly 20 years. After the initial breakthrough of Hannenhalli and Pevzner, who gave the first polynomial-time algorithm for sorting signed permutations by inv ...

Models and Algorithms for Whole-Genome Evolution and their Use in Phylogenetic Inference

Yu Lin

The rapid accumulation of sequenced genomes offers the chance to resolve longstanding questions about the evolutionary histories, or phylogenies, of groups of organisms. The relatively rare occurrence of large-scale evolutionary events in a whole genome, e ...
