Abstract

The method for analysis of homologous regions using dot matrices consists in finding and graphical representation of words common for two sequences on a rectangular matrix, i. e. subsequencies of length W with at least M coinciding letters. The algorithm: is suggested for accelerated calculation of dot matrices with the different filtration parameters. The time saving equals 6.8 times for parallel calculation of four windows.
