Α Quantum Pattern Recognition Method for Improving Pairwise Sequence Alignment.

ABSTRACT: Quantum pattern recognition techniques have recently raised attention as potential candidates in analyzing vast amount of data. The necessity to obtain faster ways to process data is imperative where data generation is rapid. The ever-growing size of sequence databases caused by the development of high throughput sequencing is unprecedented. Current alignment methods have blossomed overnight but there is still the need for more efficient methods that preserve accuracy in high levels. In this work, a complex method is proposed to treat the alignment problem better than its classical counterparts by means of quantum computation. The basic principal of the standard dot-plot method is combined with a quantum algorithm, giving insight into the effect of quantum pattern recognition on pairwise a
