One Step DNA Pattern Search - CH Ting "I have
tried many different methods to search for similar patterns in DNA genomes. I
have consolidated all the computing steps into a single Forth file and can
perform a one-click analysis for a particular genome. The analysis should be
extremely fast, because the genome data are linked in 4096 threads. When I
rewrote the code in Python, the source code length shrank to 1/2 page by
utilizing Pythons list functions." |
