We consider the problem of aligning of k sequences of length n. The cost function is sum of pairs, and satisfies triangle inequality. Earlier results on finding approximation algorithms for this problem are due to Gusfield (1991) who achieved an approximation ratio of 2 -2/k, and Pevzner (1992) who

Automatic identi"cation of sub-structures in multi-aligned sequences is of great importance for e!ective and objective structural/functional domain annotation, phylogenetic treeing and other molecular analyses. We present a segmentation algorithm that optimally partitions a given multi-alignment int
The insertion-deletion model developed by Thorne, Kishino and Felsenstein (1991, J. Mol. Evol., 33, 114-124; the TKF91 model) provides a statistical framework of two sequences. The statistical alignment of a set of sequences related by a star tree is a generalization of this model. The known algorit
