Sequence alignment methods often use something called a 'dynamic programming' algorithm. What is dynamic programming and how does it work?

Create divide and conquer, dynamic programming, and greedy algorithms. Understand intractable problems, P vs NP and the use of integer programming solvers to tackle some of these problems. ... study ...

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