Suppose you are working on a genetic research project where you need to compare DNA sequences to identify common genetic patterns. Explain how LCS can be applied to this scenario and discuss any challenges you might encounter.
- By comparing DNA sequences lengthwise.
- By focusing only on specific nucleotide bases.
- By identifying the longest common subsequence in DNA sequences.
- By randomly aligning DNA sequences for comparison.
Applying LCS in genetic research involves identifying the longest common subsequence in DNA sequences, aiding in recognizing common genetic patterns. Challenges may include handling gaps, mutations, and variations in sequence length.
