Dynamic programming (DP) algorithms have become indispensable in computational biology, addressing problems that range from sequence alignment and phylogenetic inference to RNA secondary structure ...

In particular, we show that a nonstandard approach we call "left-right" dynamic programming is better suited for this problem than the standard "bottom-up" approach, and we show how this "left-right" ...
