On the inference of parsimonious indel evolutionary scenarios.

Abstract excerpt

Given a multiple alignment of orthologous DNA sequences and a phylogenetic tree for these sequences, we investigate the problem of reconstructing a most parsimonious scenario of insertions and deletions capable of explaining the gaps observed in the alignment. This problem, called the Indel Parsimony Problem, is a crucial component of the problem of ancestral genome reconstruction, and its solution provides...
