A hybrid crow search algorithm for solving the DNA fragment assembly problem

作者：

Highlights：

• An adaptation of the crow search algorithm to solve the DNA fragment assembly problem is proposed.

• A combination of CSA and a PALS based local search allowed superior performances.

• Generating new solutions is based on a modified ordered crossover operator (OX).
