Setting bounders

Report a typo

Biologists often search for specific patterns in DNA sequences. One crucial task is identifying sequences with the longest borders. These shared borders aid in identifying the most similar sequences to the source, as they can be read from both the beginning and the end.

Select the options below that correctly identify the longest shared borders for their respective DNA sequences.

Example:

DNA Sequence: TTCGCTTGGTT

Possible Borders: TT , T

Longest Shared Border: TT

Tip: A border of a string is a non-empty substring that is both a proper prefix and a proper suffix of the string. Proper means that the whole string does not count as a substring.
