Abstract
A method for string alignment is presented in which a moire technique is ap plied to one-dimensional spatial encoding patterns. String alignment, an es sential operation in genome analysis, evaluates local similarity between se quences of bases or amino acids. The method uses a simple procedure to prov ide matching results for not only the same locus but also neighboring loci. Experimental verification shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.
