  2. Comparing Two Strings Definition: A string is a set of consecutive characters. Examples: • “hello world” • “0123456” • DNA sequences • text file

  3. Comparing Two Strings If X and Y are strings, how similar are they? Edit distance, d(X, Y) – smallest number of operations needed to make X look like Y. • Allowed operations: • Insert a character • Delete a character • Replace a character • Running time: O(mn) with a dynamic programming algorithm

  4. Comparing Two Strings If X and Y are strings, how similar are they? Edit distance, d(X, Y) – smallest number of operations needed to make X look like Y. X = abcdef Y = defabc d(X, Y)= ? # operations =

  5. Comparing Two Strings If X and Y are strings, how similar are they? Edit distance, d(X, Y) – smallest number of operations needed to make X look like Y. X = bcdef Y = defabc d(X, Y)= ? # operations = 1

  6. Comparing Two Strings If X and Y are strings, how similar are they? Edit distance, d(X, Y) – smallest number of operations needed to make X look like Y. X = cdef Y = defabc d(X, Y)= ? # operations = 2

  7. Comparing Two Strings If X and Y are strings, how similar are they? Edit distance, d(X, Y) – smallest number of operations needed to make X look like Y. X = def Y = defabc d(X, Y)= ? # operations = 3

  8. Comparing Two Strings If X and Y are strings, how similar are they? Edit distance, d(X, Y) – smallest number of operations needed to make X look like Y. X = defa Y = defabc d(X, Y)= ? # operations = 4

  9. Comparing Two Strings If X and Y are strings, how similar are they? Edit distance, d(X, Y) – smallest number of operations needed to make X look like Y. X = defab Y = defabc d(X, Y)= ? # operations = 5

  10. Comparing Two Strings If X and Y are strings, how similar are they? Edit distance, d(X, Y) – smallest number of operations needed to make X look like Y. X = defabc Y = defabc d(X, Y)= 6 # operations = 6 Does this seem too high?

  11. Edit Distance with Moves • d(X, Y): smallest number of operations to make X look like Y. • New operation: move a substring X = abcdef Y = defabc d(X, Y)= 1

  12. Edit Distance with Moves • d(X, Y): smallest number of operations to make X look like Y. • New operation: move a substring • Some applications • Computational biology – DNA sequences • Text editing • Webpage updating

  13. Edit Distance with Moves • Edit Sensitive Parsing (ESP) Algorithm: • Parse each string into a 2-3 tree • Compare nodes (substrings) of the trees to compute edit distance approximation: • The problem is NP-hard • Algorithm approximates d(X, Y) deterministically • Run time: O(n log n)

  20. Edit Distance with Moves Goals for this project: • Implement this algorithm • Test algorithm on DNA sequences Questions to think about: • How accurate is the approximation? • How applicable is this technique for comparing large biological sequences? • This algorithm finds repeating structures within the sequences when comparing them. Do these structures have significance? • Do such structures exist for real sequences?
