It has been an amazing first week at college here. First, I began working with Prof Kihara and got to see a whopping 160 thousand (!) annotations. The coolest part is that I got to see a few protein function prediction algorithms (I get to code! Yippee!). Well, at one point I had to whip [...]

Alright, those who know me well are bound to ask, 19 credit hours and you are bored? Answer: Yes.

The next string search algorithm I am going to cover seems pretty cool since the match is made in a reverse fashion. We check if the last character in the keyword equals some character in the text and decrease from that point on.As a result, a mismatch is detected extremely fast and this is also [...]
