Measures of diversity for populations and distances between individuals with highly reorganizable genomes.

Abstract excerpt

In this paper we address the problem of defining a measure of diversity for a population of individuals whose genome can be subjected to major reorganizations during the evolutionary process. To this end, we introduce a measure of diversity for populations of strings of variable length defined on a finite alphabet, and from this measure we derive a semi-metric distance between pairs of strings. The definitions...
