โฆ Synopsis
Searching for long DNA strings is studied. A q-gram variation of the Boyer-Moore algorithm is considered. An alphabet transformation with precomputed tables is utilized to reduce the processing time. Experimental results show that the new algorithm is efficient in practice.

An algorithm is presented that substantially improves the algorithm of Boyer and Moore for pattern matching in strings, both in the worst case and in the average. Both the Boyer and Moore algorithm and the new algorithm assume that the characters in the pattern and in the text are taken from a given
Various string matching algorithms have been designed and some experimental work on string matching over bounded alphabets has been performed, but string matching over unbounded alphabets has been little investigated. We present here experimental results where symbols are taken among potentially inf
