To solve a problem in this interdisciplinary field of study, Ewan Birney first modified the pairwise algorithm to calculate FOP and FEP scores, an improvement on the gap-scoring scheme.
To solve a problem in this interdisciplinary field of study, Ewan Birney first modified the pairwise algorithm to calculate FOP and FEP scores, an improvement on the gap-scoring scheme. Hirschberg's algorithm, which finds an optimal solution using Levenshtein distance, was developed for use explicitly in this field of study, and was devised by modifying the NeedlemanÂ–Wunsch algorithm. Most introductions to this field of study teach the BLAST algorithm early on since it is the simplest method of querying the alignment of sequences. In this field, computers are used to help analyze repeating sequences of adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. For 10 points, name this academic field of using algorithms and statistical methods to manipulate genomic data.
