Given a sequence S of n symbols over some alphabet Σ, we develop a new compression method that is (i) very simple to implement; (ii) provides O(1) time random access to any symbol...
Abstract- String matching problem received much attention over the years due to its importance in various applications such as text/file comparison, DNA sequencing, search engines,...
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...
Over the last decade the cost of producing genomic sequences has dropped dramatically due to the current so called “next-gen” sequencing methods. However, these next-gen seque...
We consider approximate pattern matching in natural language text. We use the words of the text as the alphabet, instead of the characters as in traditional string matching approac...
