COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF BIT-PARALLEL STRING PATTERN MATCHING ALGORITHMS FOR BIOLOGICAL SEQUENCES

Abstract

The inherent parallelism in a bit operation like AND/OR inside a computer word is known as bit parallelism. It plays a greater role in string pattern matching and has good application in the analysis of biological data. The use of recently developed bit parallel string matching algorithms approaches helps in improving the efficiency of the other string pattern matching algorithms. This paper discusses the working of some of these bit parallel string matching algorithms and their application on biological sequences. It also shows how bit-parallelism can be efficiently used to address various matching problems in Bioinformatics to analyze biological sequences such as Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), Ribonucleic acid (RNA), and Protein with examples. It can also serve as a greater tool for researchers when looking for the appropriate method to use on Biological sequences.
