Abstract: The edit distance (also known as Levenshtein distance) of two strings is the minimum number of insertions, deletions, and substitutions of characters needed to transform one string into the ...

Abstract: Levenshtein edit distance has played a central role-both past and present-in sequence alignment in particular and biological database similarity search in general. We start our review with a ...

The goal of the course is to improve programming and problem-solving skills of the students by facing them with difficult problems and by presenting the techniques that help their reasoning in the ...

District heating has always been regarded as a convenient and environmentally friendly heating method. However, the district heating process involves a considerable amount of wasted energy. To improve ...

RNA editing in mammals is catalysed by ADAR1 and ADAR2, but their substrates are poorly defined. By perturbing ADAR enzymes in human cells, we curated 9,352 and 1,403 sites that are edited by ADAR1 ...

Dynamic programming algorithms guarantee to find the optimal alignment between two sequences. For more than a few sequences, exact algorithms become computationally impractical, and progressive ...
