A transposition is an operation that exchanges two adjacent blocks in a permutation. A prefix transposition always moves a prefix of the permutation to another location. In this article, we use a data structure, called the permutation tree, to improve the running time of the best known approximation algorithm (with…

In this communication the author describes a software tool named "ChameleonSort". The software program, developed by the present author is useful in the sorting of biological sequence variants like those accumulating mutations while diverging from the common ancestors. Examples include viral protein variants, protein…

Relative Lempel–Ziv (RLZ) is an effective compression method for large, repetitive collections; however, the fundamental primitives required to elevate it from a passive archival format to a tractable representation for compressed construction have yet to be fully established. In this paper, we introduce an algorithmic…

The General Transfer Format (GTF) is a widely used format for gene annotation data, integral to various downstream analyses. Efficient management and sorting of GTF data are relevant, as unsorted data can intere with computational efficiency and interpretability. Sorted GTF data, on the other hand, enable more…

Computer-assisted design of small molecules has experienced a resurgence in academic and indus- trial interest due to the widespread use of data-driven techniques such as deep generative models. While the ability to generate molecules that fulfill required chemical properties is encouraging, the use of deep learning…

We present here an open-source Julia library for the topological identification of crystalline materials, with algorithmic and computational improvements over the previously available software in the field, resulting in a speed increase of one order of magnitude. This new algorithm and implementation can therefore be…

The variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) algorithm can simulate the chemical systems such as molecules in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices and shows promising applications in quantum chemistry simulations. The accuracy and computational cost of the VQE simulations are determined by the underlying Ansätze.…

The genome rearrangement problem computes the minimum number of operations that are required to sort all elements of a permutation. A block-interchange operation exchanges two blocks of a permutation which are not necessarily adjacent and in a prefix block-interchange, one block is always the prefix of that…

Alignment searches are fast heuristic methods to identify similar regions between two sequences. This group of algorithms is ubiquitously used in a myriad of software to find homologous sequences or to map sequence reads to genomes. Often the first step in alignment searches is k-mer decomposition: listing all…

Minimizers are sampling schemes which are ubiquitous in almost any high-throughput sequencing analysis. Assuming a fixed alphabet of size σ, a minimizer is defined by two positive integers k, w and a linear order ρ on k-mers. A sequence is processed by a sliding window algorithm that chooses in each window of length w…

Because of the rapidly-growing amount of sequencing data, computing sketches of large textual datasets has become an essential preprocessing task. These sketches are typically much smaller than the input sequences, but preserve sufficient information for downstream analysis. Minimizers are an especially popular…
