Title
Automata-Theoretic Models of Mutation and Alignment.
Abstract
Finite-state automata called transducers, which have both input and output, can be used to model sim- ple mechanisms of biological mutation. We present a methodology whereby numerically-weighted versions of such specifications can be mechanically adapted to create string edit machines that are essentially equiv- alent to recurrence relations of the sort that chat- acterize dynamic programming alignment algorithms. Based on this, we have developed a visual program- ruing system for designing new alignment algorithms in a rapid-prototyping fashion.
