Local alignment is an important task in molecular biology to see if two sequences contain regions that are similar. The most popular approach to local alignment is the use of dynamic programming due to Smith and Waterman, but the alignment reported by the Smith-Waterman algorithm has some undesirable properties. The recent approach to fix these problems is to use the notion of normalized scores for local alignments by Arslan, Egecioglu and Pevzner. In this paper we consider the problem of finding all local alignments whose normalized scores are above a given threshold, and present a fast heuristic algorithm. Our algorithm is 180-330 times faster than Arslan et al.''s for sequences of length about 120 kbp and about 40-50 times faster for sequences of length about 30 kbp.

Infertility is a disease that exists when a couple has tried to conceive for 12 months during which time they have had intercourse without the use of contraception. There are many factors suggested as causative factors for this problem and various diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are practicing to alleviate this infertility with great advancement in molecular biology, cryobiology and ART etc. During provision of infertility service, most importantly clinician keep in mind that comprehensive care should be individualized based on the couple's situation. Even though there is advancement in this field, still there are remaining area to be explored and approaches yet to be developed for the future.

A region of 326 bp of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 (cox1) for Opisthorchis sp sample collected in An My, Tuy An, Phu Yen, was amplified using PCR. Nucleotide sequence of this cox1 fragment was used to comparatively analyzed with that of O. viverrini, strain Khon Kaen, Thailand, and C. sinensis sequences of Opisthorchis sp of Vietnam, China and Korea. The analysis revealed that nucleotide sequences of Opisthorchis sp of Vietnam has absolute homology to O. viverrini strain Khon Kaen, Thai Lan, but difference from C. sinensis originated from Vietnam, China and Korea. Opisthorchis sp of Vietnam isolated in Phu Yen is, thus, molecularly identified as Opisthorchis viverrini. This gives rise to establish a diagnostic approach and aspect of preventive/control for these species
