Abstract In this paper we introduce the Weighted Suffix Tree, an efficient data structure for computing string regularities in weighted sequences of molecular data. Molecular Wei...

A new statistical model for DNA considers a sequence to be a mixture of regions with little structure and regions that are approximate repeats of other subsequences, i.e. instance...

Background: Exhaustive methods of sequence alignment are accurate but slow, whereas heuristic approaches run quickly, but their complexity makes them more difficult to implement. ...
Approximate string matching is an important paradigm in domains ranging from speech recognition to information retrieval and molecular biology. In this paper, we introduce a new f...
We present a new bit-parallel technique for approximate string matching. We build on two previous techniques. The first one, BPM [Myers, J. of the ACM, 1999], searches for a patte...
