This class covers algorithmic techniques used in the computational analysis of genome rearrangement problems.

Software

Reversals and BP Graph

Prof. Istvan Miklos, from the Bioinformatics Group in Alfréd Rényi Institute in Budapest, kindly shared his visualization software for the Breakpoint Graph. It is written in Java, and you can download it here.

Usage: java InversionVisualisation file_name

For example: java InversionVisualisation permutation.txt

The input must be a signed permutation in one line, the numbers separated with a TAB. There are some examples in the package.

Select the reality edges on which the reversal should act, and press the button Mutate. You can go forward and backward in the list of generated genomes, and you can delete any of them, too.
