\(\textsc {McDag}\): indexing maximal common subsequences for k strings
摘要
Analyzing and comparing sequences of symbols is among the most fundamental problems in computer science, possibly even more so in bioinformatics. Maximal Common Subsequences (MCSs), i.e., inclusion-maximal sequences of non-contiguous symbols common to two or more strings, have only recently received attention in this area, despite being a basic notion and a natural generalization of more common tools like Longest Common Substrings/Subsequences. In this paper we simplify and engineer recent advancements in MCSs into a practical tool called
