The problem is known to be NP-complete even when all gene clusters are of size two and the corresponding problem (RHMC$_{2})$ admits efficient constant-factor approximation algorithms. In this paper, for the first time, we consider the more general case when the gene clusters can have size either two or three (RHMC $_{3})$. Let $p$-RHMC be a parameterized version of RHMC where the parameter is the size of solution. We present a linear kernel for $p$-RHMC$_{3}$ of size $22k$, together with a bounded search tree algorithm, we obtain an FPT algorithm running in $O(6^{k} k + n)$ time. For $p$-RHMC $_{2}$ we present a bounded search tree algorithm which runs in $O^{*}(2.45^{k})$ time, greatly improving the previous bound using weak kernels.}, identifier = {06101503}, }
