spotlight application: bioinformatics
An important problem in bioinformatics is assessing
hypothetical overlaps of DNA clones in
physical maps.
A rather elaborate mathematical expression gives the probability of
a true overlap, given the number of fragment lengths two clones have in
common.
The gen_bell package has been used as part of the computation for this
expression, which requires enumerating how the clone fragments can be
partitioned.
