Hi!
I am posting this in several other newsgroups as well because I have
not detected a lot of activity in this newsgroup.
I am a graduate student in Computer Science working on the DNA
sequencing problem for Salmonella. I am not a biologist, though I have had a
little biology in the past. I would like to get in touch with anyone else who
is trying to use parallel computation (with approximate string matching
techniques) for producing a superstring from a given set of strings of DNA.
As I said, I am just starting in this area and any help would be
appreciated, e.g. pointers to recent work in this field, references etc.
Replies can be posted or sent by e-mail to snayar at cs.umr.edu.
Thanks in advance,
Sanjay Nayar
