SEQUENCE MATCHING ALLOWING FOR ERRORS

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with sequence matching with no more than a number E errors are disclosed. A test fragment to be located within a target sequence with at most a number E errors is received. The test fragment is broken into E+1 test sub-fragments. If one test sub-fragment is located within the target sequence with no errors; a determination is made as to whether the other test sub-fragments are located within the target sequence adjacent to the one test sub-fragment with a total of at most E errors. If the other test sub-fragments are located within the target sequence adjacent the one test sub-fragment with at most E errors, a location of the test fragment within the target sequence is returned.
