Alignment of DNA sequences

Sequence alignment is one of the most important operations in computational biology. Alignment of two sequences shows how similar the two sequences are, where there are differences between them, and the correspondence between similar subsequences. All of these represent important information for bi...

Description
Summary:Sequence alignment is one of the most important operations in computational biology. Alignment of two sequences shows how similar the two sequences are, where there are differences between them, and the correspondence between similar subsequences. All of these represent important information for biologists. For this reason, seeking an effective method for aligning genomic DNA is the major goal of this dissertation.
