| dc.description | Formal models for gene assembly in ciliates have been developed, in particular the string pointer reduction system (SPRS) and the graph pointer reduction system (GPRS). The reduction graph is a valuable tool within the SPRS, revealing much information about how gene assembly is performed for a given gene. The GPRS is more abstract than the SPRS and not all information present in the SPRS is retained in the GPRS. As a consequence the reduction graph cannot be defined for the GPRS in general, but we show that it can be defined (in an equivalent manner as defined for the SPRS) if we restrict ourselves to so-called realistic overlap graphs. Fortunately, only these graphs correspond to genes occurring in nature. Defining the reduction graph within the GPRS allows one to carry over several results within the SPRS that rely on the reduction graph. | |
