Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Given a pattern string and a text, the task of approximate string matching is to find all locations in the text that are similar to the pattern. This type of search may be done for example in applications of spelling error correction or bioinformatics. Typically edit distance is used as the measure of similarity (or distance) between two strings. In this thesis we concentrate on unit-cost edit distance that defines the distance between two strings as the minimum number of edit operations that are needed in transforming one of the strings into the other. More specifically, we discuss the Levenshtein and the Damerau edit distances. Aproximate [sic] string matching algorithms can be divided into off-line and on-line algorithms depending on whether they may or may not, respectively, preprocess the text. In this thesis we propose practical algorithms for both types of approximate string matching as well as for computing edit distance. Our main contributions are a new variant of the bit-parallel approximate string matching algorithm of Myers, a method that makes it easy to modify many existing Levenshtein edit distance algorithms into using the Damerau edit distance, a bit-parallel algorithm for computing edit distance, a more error tolerant version of the ABNDM algorithm, a two-phase filtering scheme, a tuned indexed approximate string matching method for genome searching, and an improved and extended version of the hybrid index of Navarro and Baeza-Yates. To evaluate their practicality, we compare most of the proposed methods with previously existing algorithms. The test results support the claim of the title of this thesis that our proposed algorithms work well in practice."

Download or read book String Searching Algorithms written by Graham A Stephen and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1994-10-17 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: String searching is a subject of both theoretical and practical interest in computer science. This book presents a bibliographic overview of the field and an anthology of detailed descriptions of the principal algorithms available. The aim is twofold: on the one hand, to provide an easy-to-read comparison of the available techniques in each area, and on the other, to furnish the reader with a reference to in-depth descriptions of the major algorithms. Topics covered include methods for finding exact and approximate string matches, calculating ‘edit’ distances between strings, finding common sequences and finding the longest repetitions within strings. For clarity, all the algorithms are presented in a uniform format and notation.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the outstanding milestones achieved in recent years in the field of biotechnology research has been the development of high-throughput sequencing (HTS). Due to the fact that at the moment it is technically impossible to decode the genome as a whole, HTS technologies read billions of relatively short chunks of a genome at random locations. Such reads then need to be located within a reference for the species being studied (that is aligned or mapped to the genome): for each read one identifies in the reference regions that share a large sequence similarity with it, therefore indicating what the read¿s point or points of origin may be. HTS technologies are able to re-sequence a human individual (i.e. to establish the differences between his/her individual genome and the reference genome for the human species) in a very short period of time. They have also paved the way for the development of a number of new protocols and methods, leading to novel insights in genomics and biology in general. However, HTS technologies also pose a challenge to traditional data analysis methods; this is due to the sheer amount of data to be processed and the need for improved alignment algorithms that can generate accurate results quickly. This thesis tackles the problem of sequence alignment as a step within the analysis of HTS data. Its contributions focus on both the methodological aspects and the algorithmic challenges towards efficient, scalable, and accurate HTS mapping. From a methodological standpoint, this thesis strives to establish a comprehensive framework able to assess the quality of HTS mapping results. In order to be able to do so one has to understand the source and nature of mapping conflicts, and explore the accuracy limits inherent in how sequence alignment is performed for current HTS technologies. From an algorithmic standpoint, this work introduces state-of-the-art index structures and approximate string matching algorithms. They contribute novel insights that can be used in practical applications towards efficient and accurate read mapping. More in detail, first we present methods able to reduce the storage space taken by indexes for genome-scale references, while still providing fast query access in order to support effective search algorithms. Second, we describe novel filtering techniques that vastly reduce the computational requirements of sequence mapping, but are nonetheless capable of giving strict algorithmic guarantees on the completeness of the results. Finally, this thesis presents new incremental algorithmic techniques able to combine several approximate string matching algorithms; this leads to efficient and flexible search algorithms allowing the user to reach arbitrary search depths. All algorithms and methodological contributions of this thesis have been implemented as components of a production aligner, the GEM-mapper, which is publicly available, widely used worldwide and cited by a sizeable body of literature. It offers flexible and accurate sequence mapping while outperforming other HTS mappers both as to running time and to the quality of the results it produces.
