Best match graphs (BMGs) are vertex-colored directed graphs that were introduced to model the relationships of genes (vertices) from different species (colors) given an underlying evolutionary tree that is assumed to be unknown. In real-life applications, BMGs are estimated from sequence similarity data. Measurement noise and approximation errors usually result in empirically determined graphs that in general violate characteristic properties of BMGs. The arc modification problems for BMGs aim at correcting such violations and thus provide a means to improve the initial estimates of best match data. We show here that the arc deletion, arc completion and arc editing problems for BMGs are NP-complete and that they can be formulated and solved as integer linear programs. To this end, we provide a novel characterization of BMGs in terms of triples (binary trees on three leaves) and a characterization of BMGs with two colors in terms of forbidden subgraphs.
Best match graphs (BMGs) are a class of colored digraphs that naturally appear in mathematical phylogenetics and can be approximated with the help of similarity measures between gene sequences, albeit not without errors. The corresponding graph editi
Best match graphs (BMGs) are vertex-colored digraphs that naturally arise in mathematical phylogenetics to formalize the notion of evolutionary closest genes w.r.t. an a priori unknown phylogenetic tree. BMGs are explained by unique least resolved tr
Genome-scale orthology assignments are usually based on reciprocal best matches. In the absence of horizontal gene transfer (HGT), every pair of orthologs forms a reciprocal best match. Incorrect orthology assignments therefore are always false posit
The even cycle problem for both undirected and directed graphs has been the topic of intense research in the last decade. In this paper, we study the computational complexity of emph{cycle length modularity problems}. Roughly speaking, in a cycle len
Best match graphs (BMG) are a key intermediate in graph-based orthology detection and contain a large amount of information on the gene tree. We provide a near-cubic algorithm to determine whether a BMG is binary-explainable, i.e., whether it can be
