- table 1 presents the results of our program on a series of experimental data by Palmer et al.
- for example, Palmer and Herbon (1988) postulated 11 rearrangements for the comparison Brassica nigra versus B. campestris
- while our program produces a sequence of nine inversions which transform one sequence into the other
- it also computes a lower bound of nine
- thereby proving that our program found the most parsimonious sequence of reversals
