An accurate approximation to the distribution of the length of the longest matching word between two random DNA sequences.
An accurate approximation is derived to the distribution of the length of the longest matching word present between two random DNA sequences of finite length, using only elementary probability arguments. The distribution is shown to be consistent with previous asymptotic results for the mean and var...
