For the Bernoulli matching model of the sequence alignment problem we apply the Bethe Ansatz technique via an exact mapping to the five-vertex model on a square lattice. Considering the terracelike representation of the sequence alignment problem, we reproduce by the Bethe Ansatz the results for the averaged length of the longest common subsequence in the Bernoulli approximation. In addition, w...

This talk shows theorems, techniques, and applications of well-quasi-ordering (WQO). First, we introduce what is WQO, and Kruskaltype theorems on various data structures [31, 15, 16, 23, 34, 33]. The basic proof technique, minimal bad sequence (MBS), will be introduced for the simplest case, Higman’s Lemma. Then, WQO will be extended to better-quasi-ordering (BQO) for infinite data structures [...

A method is presented for the derivation of knowledge-based pair potentials that corrects for the various compositions of different proteins. The resulting statistical pair potential is more specific than that derived from previous approaches as assessed by gapless threading results. Additionally, a methodology is presented that interpolates between statistical potentials when no homologous exa...

Human Genomics and Genetics KEY — Genome sequence variation and the inherited basis of common disease and complex traits, January 8–13

Species of Oithona (Copepoda, Cyclopoida) are highly abundant, ecologically important, and widely distributed throughout the world oceans. Although there are valid and detailed descriptions of the species, routine species identifications remain challenging due to their small size, subtle morphological diagnostic traits, and the description of geographic forms or varieties. This study examined t...
