Sequence Alignment & Comparison
Mathematica includes state-of-the-art algorithms for sequence alignment and comparison, capable of handling strings and lists containing very large numbers of elements.
SequenceAlignment — find alignments between sequences, allowing insertion and deletion
LongestCommonSubsequence — find the longest contiguous subsequence in common
LongestCommonSequence — find the longest sequence in common, perhaps disjoint
Nearest — find sequences nearest with respect to a distance measure
FindClusters — find clusters of sequences with respect to a distance measure
GenomeLookup — find exact matches with human and other genomes
