Quantum gate algorithm for reference-guided DNA sequence alignment

We present a novel quantum algorithm for reference-guided DNA sequence alignment modeled with gate-based quantum computing. The algorithm is scalable, can be integrated into existing classical DNA sequencing systems and is intentionally structured to limit computational errors. The quantum algorithm has been tested using the quantum processing units and simulators provided by IBM Quantum, and its correctness has been confirmed.PMID:37717360 | DOI:10.1016/j.compbiolchem.2023.107959
