Abstract
In 1980, Smith and Waterman published an example of the application of gene-typing algorithms to the problem of matching stratigraphic sequences. These algorithms were developed by molecular biologists for coping with the irregular patterns of amino-acids in human genes. They were developed to handle duplicated, stretched and missing sequences, all of which are also common features in geological well data.
