Algorithms for computing the double cut and join distance on both gene order and intergenic sizes

Abstract Background Combinatorial works on genome rearrangements have so far ignored the influence of intergene sizes, i.e. the number of nucleotides between consecutive genes, although it was recently shown decisive for the accuracy of inference methods (Biller et al. in Genome Biol Evol 8:1427–39,...
