In this article, we propose a new method for computing rare maximal exact matches between multiple sequences. A rare match between k sequences S1; : : :; Sk is a string that occur...
A proper factor u of a string y is a cover of y if every letter of y is within some occurrence of u in y. The concept generalises the notion of periods of a string. An integer arra...

The closest substring problem, where a short string is sought that minimizes the number of mismatches between it and each of a given set of strings, is a minimization problem with ...
A weighted sequence is a string in which a set of characters may appear at each position with respective probabilities of occurrence. A common task is to locate a given motif in a ...
A fragmentary pattern is a multiset of non-empty strings, and it matches a string w if all the strings in it occur within w without any overlaps. We study some fundamental issues o...
