Pattern Matching and Pattern Discovery in Scientific, Program, and Document Databases

Summary: Toolkit for combinatorial pattern matching and pattern discovery on sequences and trees in scientific, program, and document databases. Distance-based matching and discovery components unify pattern mining with data-management tasks, with applications in molecular biology and document comparison.
