Abstract

Rearrangements are discrete processes whereby discrete segments of DNA are deleted, replicated and inserted into novel positions. A sequence of such configurations, termed a rearrangement evolution, results in jumbled DNA arrangements, frequently observed in cancer genomes. We introduce a method that allows us to precisely count these different evolutions for a range of processes including breakage-fusion-bridge-cycles, tandem-duplications, inverted-duplications, reversals, transpositions and deletions, showing that the space of rearrangement evolution is superexponential in size. These counts assume the infinite sites model of unique breakpoint usage.
