Linking Paths from $R\left(A,B\right)$ of Canonical Genomes

	Linking AB-cycle	$\Delta n$	$\Delta c$	$\Delta \left(2i\right)$	$\Delta d$
Paths
AB	$\left(AB\right)$	$+0.5$	$+1$	$-0.5$	0
$AA+BB$	$\left(AA,BB\right)$	$+1$	$+1$	0	0
Remaining paths
AA	$\left(AA,{\Gamma }_B\right)$	$+1$	$+1$	0	0
BB	$\left(BB,{\Gamma }_A\right)$	$+1$	$+1$	0	0

The symbol ${\Gamma }_A$ represents an artificial adjacency in A, and the symbol ${\Gamma }_B$ represents an artificial adjacency in B. The value $\Delta d$ corresponds to $\Delta n-\Delta c-\Delta \left(2i\right)$.
