Description

This article describes the Smith-Waterman algorithm for comparing DNA sequences. This algorithm used an iterative matrix similar to that used by the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm, in order to determine the evolutionary distance between two sequences. It later inspired the miRanda algorithm for analyzing microRNAs.
