Fig. 2. I ( G )= ]2; 1[ , [ 2 ; 1 ] , ]2 ; 3[ , [ 1 ; 3 ] , ]1 ; 3[ , the set of intervals of G =
( 21231 3 ) depicted as boxes. The two boxes with thick lines represent two overlapping
intervals of I ( G ) inducing a BI which exchanges 2 and 3
is equivalent to a BI operation if and only if I ( ab ) and I ( xy ) are overlapping. Note
that in this case neither ( ab ) , nor ( xy ) can be double-adjacencies in G since their
intervals are non-empty. Figure 2 shows an example of two overlapping intervals.
The following property states precisely in which case the successive application of
DCJ ( ab ) and DCJ ( xy ) decreases the DCJ halving distance by 2 , meaning that both
DCJ operations are sorting.
Property 4. Given two adjacencies ( ab ) and ( xy ) of G , such that I ( ab ) and I ( xy )
are overlapping, the successive application of DCJ ( ab ) and DCJ ( xy ) decreases the
DCJ halving distance by 2 if and only if x
= a and y
= b .
Proof. If x
= b , then the successive application of DCJ ( ab ) and DCJ ( xy )
increases the number of cycles in NG ( G ) by 2 , by creating two new 2-cycles. Otherwise,
DCJ ( ab ) first creates a new cycle that is then destroyed by DCJ ( xy ) .
= a and y
We denote by
I
( G ) , the set of intervals of all the adjacencies of G that do not contain
marker
.
Remark 1. Note that, if G contains n distinct markers, then there are 2 n
1 adjacencies
in G that do not contain marker
, defining 2 n
1 intervals in
I
( G ) .
Definition 12. Two intervals I ( ab ) and I ( xy ) of
I
( G ) are said to be compatible if
they are overlapping and x
= a and y
= b .
In the following, we prove the BI single tandem halving distance formula by showing
that if genome G contains more than three distinct markers, n> 3 , then there exist
two compatible intervals in
( G ) ,andif n =2 or n =3 then d t BI ( G )=1 and
I
d p DCJ ( G )
2
3 . This means that there exists a BI halving scenario S such that all
BI operations in S , possibly excluding the last one, are equivalent to two successive
sorting DCJ operations.
From now on, until the end of the section, ( ab ) is an adjacency of G that is not a
double-adjacency, A is a genome consisting in a linear chromosome
L
and a circular
chromosome
, obtained by applying the sorting DCJ , DCJ ( ab ) ,on G .
If there exists an interval I ( xy ) in
C
( G ) compatible with I ( ab ) , then applying
DCJ ( xy ) on A consists in the integration of the circular chromosome
I
C
into the linear
chromosome
such that the adjacency ( x y ) is formed. Such an integration can only
be performed by cutting an adjacency ( xu ) in
L
C
and an adjacency ( v y ) in
L
