Title
A SAT-Based Approach to Multiple Sequence Alignment
Abstract
Multiple sequence alignment is a central problem in Bioinformatics. A known integer programming approach is to apply branch-and-cut to exponentially large graph-theoretic models. This paper describes a new integer program formulation that generates models small enough to be passed to generic solvers. The formulation is a hybrid relating the sparse alignment graph with a compact encoding of the alignment matrix via channelling constraints. Alignments obtained with a SAT-based local search algorithm are competitive with those of state-of-the-art algorithms, though execution times are much longer.
