The document discusses algorithms for exact string matching in bioinformatics. It covers:
1. The first week focuses on algorithms for exact string matching of a single pattern, including brute force, Horspool's, and BNDM algorithms.
2. The second week covers approximate search and alignment of short sequences.
3. The third week deals with searching long sequences. It also discusses building factor automata and the BOM algorithm which uses these automata to match patterns from right to left.
