Abstract

Translocation has long been learned as a basic operation to rearrange genomes. Signed translocation sorting can be solved in polynomial time. Unsigned translocation sorting turns to be NP-Hard and Max-SNP-Hard. The best known algorithm by now for unsigned translocation sorting can achieve a performance ratio 1.408. In this paper, we propose a new approximation algorithm for unsigned translocation sorting, which can achieve a performance ratio 1.375 in polynomial time.
