In this paper, we propose an efficient on-line handwritten digit recognition base on Convex-Concave curves feature which is extracted by a chain code sequence using Smith-Waterman alignment algorithm. The time sequential signal from mouse movement on the writing pad is described as a sequence of consecutive points on the x-y plane. So, we can create data-set which are successive and time-sequential pixel position data by preprocessing. Data preprocessed is used for Convex-Concave curves feature extraction. This feature is scale-, translation-, and rotation-invariant. The extracted specific feature is fed to a Smith-Waterman alignment algorithm, which in turn classifies it as one of the nine digits. In comparison with backpropagation neural network, Smith-Waterman alignment has the more outstanding performance.

Global sequence alignment in search of similarity or homology favors larger size of the sequence because it keeps looking for more similar section between two sequences in the hope that it adds up scores for matched part in the rest of the sequence. If a substantial size of mismatched section exists in the middle of the sequence, it greatly reduces the total alignment score. In this case a whole sequence would be better to be divided into multiple sections. Overall alignment score over the multiple sections of the sequence would increase as compared to global alignment. This method is called multiple local alignment. In this paper, we implement a multiple local alignment algorithm, an extension of Smith-Waterman algorithm and show the experimental results for the algorithm that is able to search for sub-optimal sequence.

두 문자열의 부분배치(local alignment)를 찾는 대표적인 알고리즘인 Smith-Waterman 알고리즘(SW 알고리즘)은 정규화된 최적부분배치를 찾지 못하는 단점이 있다. 최근에 fractional programming 기법을 이용하여 여러 번의 SW 알고리즘을 수행함으로써 정규화된 최적부분배티를 찾는 알고리즘이 제시되었지만 이는 매우 많은 시간이 걸린다. 본 논문에서는 fractional programming 기법을 이용하여 정규화된 최적부분배치를 찾는 알고리즘에, 완전매치(Exact Match)을 이용한 휴리스틱 기법인 Banded SW 알고리즘을 적용하여, 낮은 오차를 가지면서 실용적으로 매우 빠른 정규화된 최적부분배치를 찾는 알고리즘을 제시하고 이 알고리즘과 제시하고 이 알고리즘과 기존의 알고리즘을 직접 구현하여 실험한 결과를 비교 분석한다.

서열 배치 문제는 두 개의 서열에서 가장 유사한 부분을 찾는 문제이다. 이 문제를 푸는 알고리즘으로 가장 많이 쓰이는 것은 Smith-Waterman 알고리즘이다. Smith-Waterman 알고리즘은 동적 프로그래밍을 이용하여 두 서열에서 유사한 부분을 찾아낸다. 그러나 Smith-Waterman 알고리즘은 서열을 이루는 문자들의 품질 정보를 사용하지는 않는다. 각 문자가 얼마 정도의 신뢰도를 가지고 있는지를 나타내는 품질 정보는 생물학에서는 중요한 정보이다. 본 논문에서는 각 문자에 주어지는 품질이 서로 다를 때에, 품질 정보를 이용하여 가장 적합한 부분 배치를 찾아내는 알고리즘을 제시한다. 실제로 현재 서열 배치에 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 프로그램 중 하나인, Phred/Phrap에서 사용하는 LLR 값을 이용해서 비교했을 때, 본 논문에서 제시한 알고리즘은 기존의 Smith-Waterman 알고리즘보다 더 좋은 결과를 얻었다.

The alignment of DNA sequences is one of the important processes in the field of bioinformatics. The Smith-Waterman algorithm (SWA) performs optimally for aligning sequences but is computationally expensive. Field programmable gate array (FPGA) performs the best on parameters such as cost, speed-up, and ease of re-configurability to implement SWA. The performance of FPGA-based SWA is dependent on efficient cell-basic implementation-unit design. In this paper, we present an optimized systolic cell design while avoiding oversimplification, very large-scale integration (VLSI)-level design, and direct mapping of iterative equations such as previous cell designs. The proposed design makes efficient use of hardware resources and provides portability as the proposed design is not based on gate-level details. Our cell design implementing a linear gap penalty resulted in a performance improvement of 32× over a GPP platform and surpassed the hardware utilization of another implementation by a factor of 4.23.

Local alignment is an important task in molecular biology to see if two sequences contain regions that are similar. The most popular approach to local alignment is the use of dynamic programming due to Smith and Waterman, but the alignment reported by the Smith-Waterman algorithm has some undesirable properties. The recent approach to fix these problems is to use the notion of normalized scores for local alignments by Arslan, Egecioglu and Pevzner. In this paper we consider the problem of finding all local alignments whose normalized scores are above a given threshold, and present a fast heuristic algorithm. Our algorithm is 180-330 times faster than Arslan et al.'s for sequences of length about 120 kbp and about 40-50 times faster for sequences of length about 30 kbp.

The Smith-Watrman (SW) algorithm is a local alignment algorithm which is one of important operations in DNA sequence analysis. The SW algorithm finds the optimal local alignment with respect to the scoring system being used, but it has a problem to demand long execution time. To solve the problem of SW, some methods to perform SW in distributed and parallel manner have been proposed. The ADAM which is a distributed and parallel processing framework for DNA sequence has parallel SW. However, the parallel SW of the ADAM does not consider that the SW is a dynamic programming method, so the parallel SW of the ADAM has the limit of its performance. In this paper, we propose a method to enhance the parallel SW of ADAM. The proposed parallel SW (PSW) is performed in two phases. In the first phase, the PSW splits a DNA sequence into the number of partitions and assigns them to multiple nodes. Then, the original Smith-Waterman algorithm is performed in parallel at each node. In the second phase, the PSW estimates the portion of data sequence that should be recalculated, and the recalculation is performed on the portions in parallel at each node. In the experiment, we compare the proposed PSW to the parallel SW of the ADAM to show the superiority of the PSW.

Since the size of biosequence database grows exponentially every year, it becomes impractical to use Smith-Waterman algorithm for exact sequence similarity search. For fast sequence similarity search, researchers have been proposed heuristic methods that use the frequency of characters in subsequences. These methods have the defect that different sequences are treated as the same sequence. Because of using only the frequency of characters, the accuracy of these methods are lower than Smith-Waterman algorithm. In this paper, we propose an algorithm which processes query efficiently by indexing the frequency of characters including the positional information of characters in subsequences. The experiments show that our algorithm improve the accuracy of sequence similarity search approximately 5${\sim}$20% than heuristic algorithms using only the frequency of characters.

두 서열을 비교하여 유사성(similarity)이나 상동성(homology)를 찾기 위한 서열 정렬 방법 중에서 지역 정렬에 많이 사용되는 Smith-Waterman 알고리즘의 제한점인 Mosaic effect와 Shadow effect를 극복하기 위한 효율적인 방법을 살펴보고, 하나의 최대 값이 아닌 다수개의 최대 값을 찾아 다수개를 정렬함으로써 서열내에 존재 할 수 있는 다수개의 지역 정렬을 찾고 Normalized sequence alignment 알고리즘을 이용하여 서열 정렬된 결과들의 우선 순위를 매겨본다.

본 연구는 생물정보학(Bioinformatics)의 가장 기초적인 분야중 하나인, 새롭게 밝혀진 유전자 서열과 이미 밝혀진 유전자 서열 사이의 유사성(similarity)이나 상동성(homology)을 찾기 위한 방법에 대한 연구 중 지역 서열정렬로 사용하는 알고리즘인 Smith-Waterman 알고리즘이 갖고 있는 문제를 파악한다. 긴 서열에 대한 선호를 막고 대신 부분적인 지역 정렬을 다수 개 찾아 정렬시키는 알고리즘을 제안하기로 한다.
