What is Smith-Waterman Algorithm Overview about?
The Smith-Waterman algorithm is a dynamic programming method for local sequence alignment, focusing on finding similar regions between nucleic acid or protein sequences. Proposed by Temple F. Smith and Michael S. Waterman in 1981, it optimizes similarity measures by comparing segments of varying lengths and avoids negative scoring by resetting them to zero. Despite its effectiveness in identifying optimal local alignments, its cubic time complexity limits its application in large-scale problems.
