DNA Sequence Reconstruction

Problem

DNA sequence reconstruction involves assembling entire genomes from small fragments without a reference, which is a highly complex and computationally demanding task.

Solution

Quantum Approximate Optimisation Algorithm (QAOA) can help solve this reconstruction problem efficiently. After assembling sequences, Grover’s algorithm and phase estimation were applied to analyze the encoded information and patterns. These quantum approaches could also extend to similar tasks in RNA and other omics fields.

Impact

This method could dramatically improve the speed and accuracy of genome assembly and analysis. This may lead to better insights into genetic variation, disease mechanisms, and molecular biology across many fields
