Genome assembly is important in infectious disease surveillance, antimicrobial resistance monitoring, and cancer genomics. The task of reconstructing full genomic sequences from fragmented reads, can be framed as a large scale combinatorial optimisation problem. Recent advances in quantum computing have introduced new…

The exponential growth of genomic databases necessitates alignment-free methods for comparing genomes. While MinHash-based tools have revolutionized this field by efficiently estimating the Average Nucleotide Identity based on k-mer sets, they inherently discard structural genomic information. We introduce HyperSketch…

For nearly a century, the physical origin of metabolic scaling has remained unresolved: metabolism is proportional to body mass in small organisms but follows Kleiber’s three-quarter-power law in larger animals. We derive both regimes from the Metabolic Holon (MH), a locally optimized capillary–tissue oxygen-supply…
