Given n fragments from k > 2 genomes, Myers and Miller showed how to find an optimal global chain of colinear non-overlapping fragments in O(n log(k) n) time and O(n log(k-1) n) space. For gap costs in the L1-metric, we reduce the time complexity of their algorithm by a factor log(2) n \ log log n and the space complexity by a factor log n. For the sum-of-pairs gap cost, our algorithm improves the time complexity of their algorithm by a factor log n / log log n. A variant of our algorithm finds all significant local chains of colinear non-overlapping fragments. These chaining algorithms can be used in a variety of problems in comparative genomics: the computation of global alignments of complete genomes, the identification of regions of similarity (candidate regions of conserved synteny), the detection of genome rearrangements, and exon prediction.
