On Exact and Approximation Algorithms for Distinguishing Substring Selection
Abstract. The NP-complete Distinguishing Substring Selection problem (DSSS for short) asks, given a set of “good” strings and a set of “bad” strings, for a solution string ...

Parameterized Intractability of Distinguishing Substring Selection
A central question in computational biology is the design of genetic markers to distinguish between two given sets of (DNA) sequences. This question is formalized as the NP-comple...
