Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Accurate DNA sequencing is crucial for genetic research.
  • Manual cross-checking of gel readings is time-consuming and error-prone.
  • Existing methods may struggle with large DNA fragments and sequence variations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an efficient algorithm for DNA sequence alignment.
