inversely) to produce adjacencies ( x y ) and ( vu ) . This means that there must be an
adjacency ( xy ) in either
C
L
such that x is in
C
and y in
L
or
or inversely. Hence, we
have the following property :
Property 5.
C
cannot be reintegrated into
L
by applying a sorting DCJ, DCJ ( xy ) ,on
A if and only if either:
(1) for any adjacency ( xy ) in
C
(resp.
L
), markers x and y are in
L
(resp.
C
), or
(2) for any adjacency ( xy ) in
C
(resp.
L
), markers x and y are also in
C
(resp.
L
).
Proof. If there exists no adjacency ( xy ) in A such that x is in
C
and y in
L
or inversely,
then A necessarily satisfies either (1) ,or (2) .
Definition 13. An interval I ( ab ) in
( G ) is called interval of type 1 (resp. interval of
type 2 )if DCJ ( ab ) produces a genome A satisfying configuration (1) (resp. configu-
ration (2) ) described in Property 5.
I
For example, in genome (
21132 3
) , I (13) is of type 1 as DCJ (13) produces
genome (
213
)(132) ; I (2 3) is of type 2 as DCJ (2 3) produces genome
(
)(1 1) .
Now we give the maximum numbers of intervals of type 1 and type 2 that can be
contained in genome G .

I
( G ) is 2.
Lemma 2. The maximum number of intervals of type 1 in
Proof. First, note that there cannot be two intervals I and J of
= J ,
and both I and J are of type 1. Now, if I is an interval of type 1, there can be at
most two different adjacencies ( xy ) and ( uv ) such that I ( xy )= I ( uv )= I .In
this case G necessarily has a chromosome of the form ( ... x v ... u y ... ) or
( ... u y ... x v ... ) . Therefore, there are at most two intervals of type 1 in
I
( G ) such that I
I
( G ) .
Lemma 3. The maximum number of intervals of type 2 in
I
( G ) is n .
Proof. First, note that for two adjacencies ( xy ) and ( xz ) in G that do not contain
marker
,if ( xy ) is of type 2 then ( xz ) cannot be of type 2. Now, there is only one
marker u such that ( u
) is an adjacency of G .Let ( uv ) be the adjacency of G having
u as first marker, then at most half of the intervals in
I
( G )
−{
I ( uv )
}
can be of type
2. Therefore, there are at most n intervals of type 2 in
I
( G ) .
Theorem 2. If NG ( G ) contains C cycles, then the BI single tandem halving distance of
G is given by:
d t BI ( G )= n
C
2
Proof. Since there are 2 n
( G ) ,andatmost n +2 are of type 1 or 2 ,
then if G is a genome containing more than three distinct markers n> 3 ,then
2 n
1 intervals in
I
1 >n +2 and there exist two compatible intervals in
I
( G ) inducing a BI
operation that decreases the DCJ distance by 2 .
