Hallo,
I am facing a very classical bioinformatic issue: I want to get the best local alignment of two sequences. I know that there are dozens of tools available which do this job in a second but I would like to understand how to solve this problem with only linear amount of space, similar to the Hirschberg algorithm for global sequence alignment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirschberg%27s_algorithm. However, the local alignment aligns only a subsequence.
Do you know any literature?
Thanks and best regards,
Mike
