The Problem: Finding Common Ground in DNA In bioinformatics, comparing DNA sequences is a fundamental task. One common problem is to find the longest common subsequence (LCS) between two sequences. This can help us understand the similarity between two DNA strands, which can have implications for everything from genetic disease to evolutionary biology. This blog post walks through a C++ implementation I wrote to solve the LCS problem for two DNA sequences. The implementation follows the classic dynamic programming approach, which is a powerful technique for solving problems that can be broken down into smaller, overlapping subproblems. ...
