Abstract

Bipartite graphs have long been used to study and model matching problems, and in this paper we introduce the bipartite graphs that explain a recent matching problem in computational biology. The problem is to match haplotypes to genotypes in a way that minimizes the number of haplotypes, a problem called the Pure Parsimony problem. The goal of this work is not to address the computational or biological issues but rather to explore the mathematical structure through a study of the underlying graph theory.
