The physical mapping problem is to reconstruct the relative position of fragments (clones) of DNA along the genome from information on their pairwise overlaps. We show that two simplified versions of the problem belong to the class of NP-complete problems, which are conjectured to be computationally

In the paper, the question of the complexity of the combinatorial part of the DNA sequencing by hybridization, is analyzed. Subproblems of the general problem, depending on the type of error (positive, negative), are distinguished. Since decision versions of the subproblems assuming only one type of
## Abstract Exocyclic DNA adducts are mutagenic lesions that can be formed by both exogenous and endogenous mutagens/carcinogens. These adducts are structurally analogs but can differ in certain features such as ring size, conjugation, planarity and substitution. Although the information on the bio
