Abstract

In this paper, the 2-Species Duplication-Loss Small Phylogeny Problem is studied. By introducing an alignment algorithm, a labeling algorithm and three smart mutate operators, a genetic algorithm G2SP is presented. Algorithm G2SP adopts the method of combining the general operator and the smart ones. The general operator maintains the population diversity effectively, while the smart ones improve population convergence and make it evolve to the optimal solution more quickly. The tRNA and rRNA gene data of six kinds of real bacterium were used to test the performance of algorithms. The experimental results indicate that the G2SP algorithm can get fewer evolution cost than the PBLB algorithm proposed by Holloway et al., and it is an effective method for solving the 2-species duplication-loss small phylogeny problem.
