    This study introduces a novel sequence comparison method that identifies interrupted similarities, even with insertions or deletions. It enhances sequence alignment by scoring local correspondences and visualizing similarity regions.

    Area of Science:

    • Bioinformatics
    • Computational Biology
    • Genomics

    Background:

    • Sequence comparison is fundamental in bioinformatics.
    • Existing methods may struggle with insertions and deletions.
    • Needleman-Wunsch algorithm is a standard for global sequence alignment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a new sequence comparison method.
    • To detect similarities interrupted by insertions or deletions.
    • To visualize regions of local similarity in sequences.

    Main Methods:

    • Adaptation of the Needleman-Wunsch sequence alignment algorithm.
    • Calculation of scores for residue pair local alignments.
    • Application of an exponential decay factor to smooth localization.
