| Supervisor present | Leong Hon Wai, Guillaume Bourque |
The MGR algorithm developed by Dr Bourque can only handle gene data which contain a common set of homologous blocks. In this project, we will be extending the MGR algorithm to genomes which contain different sets of homologous blocks. The aim of this is to allow us to make use of more information in the hope of recoving a more accurate phylogeny tree and allowing the algorithm to deal with a greater variety of genomes
Dr Bourque handed out a copy of a draft chapter he is writing on genome rearrangement studies which provides an introduction to this field as well as an extensive bibliography of relevant papers. This bibliography will serve as the inital set of readings for this project
