Dear Mr. Zhivotovsky,
i am a mathmatican and i try to write a application system for molecular
biologists that can handle Problems like Yours.
It will be a programm-system that deals primarly with the
aminoacid-sequences.
It will have a modern grafical user-interface and will have very fast
searching algorithms, programmed in MS c++.
The compare-method will base on well-known algorithm like LCS or
Levenshtein, but will be improved by "memory-effects".
My Problem is now, that i don't know very much about the real Problems
of practical requirements in this area (my knowing ist very
theoretical).
So it would be very interesting for me, to know more about Your typical
requirements.
Thank You
