Estimation of the true evolutionary distance under the fragile breakage model

Estimation of the true evolutionary distance under the fragile breakage model

Abstract Background The ability to estimate the evolutionary distance between extant genomes plays a crucial role in many phylogenomic studies. Often such estimation is based on the parsimony assumption, implying that the distance between two genomes can be estimated as the rearrangement distance eq...
