Pattern Matching Algorithms for DNA Sequence Analysis and Disease Detection

The focus of research in Genetics is upon analysis of massive amounts of information generated by various studies and research endeavours in the area. DNA sequence analysis paves way for understanding of factors responsible for diseases and leads to disease detection. Pattern matching algorithms have been explored for DNA sequence analysis and disease detection. In this study, some of the prominent pattern matching algorithms are comprehensively reviewed and presented as a potential technique for understanding and analysis of DNA sequences for disease detection.
