Abstract

Sequence comparison problems in molecular biology are briefly reviewed. Sequences are optimally aligned allowing for substitutions, insertions, and deletions. Dynamic programming algorithms solving these problems will be presented. So-called local algorithms finding best matching intervals between two sequences are best suited for database searches. A Poisson approximation method for rapid and accurate assignment of statistical significance will be presented.
