We study two pattern matching problems that are motivated by applications in computational biology. In the Closest Substring problem k strings s1, . . ., sk are given, and the tas...
Abstract. The problem of finding a center string that is "close" to every given string arises in computational molecular biology and coding theory. This problem has two v...
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 ...
In the CLOSEST SUBSTRING problem k strings s1, ..., sk are given, and the task is to find a string s of length L such that each string si has a consecutive substring of length L ...
