Sequence comparison is a basic operation in DNA sequencing projects, and most of sequence comparison methods are based on heuristics, which are fast but not sensitive. The Dynamic Programming Algorithm, Smith-Waterman, obtains the best alignment, but at the expense of computational time. Unfortunately, the inefficiency in the performance of the Smith-Waterman algorithm limits its applications i...

abstract          background and objectives: concentration low-density lipoprotein (ldl) is one of the strongest indicators of atherosclerosis and predicts the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. ldl measurement accuracy is very important. ldl can be measured directly, such as enzymatic and nephelometry methods or can be calculated using friedewald's formula. despite the development of e...
