Longest Palindromic Substring

DNA Genes Regulation

Problem Imagine you’re working with DNA sequences to uncover regions critical for enzyme binding and gene regulation. Your task is to develop an algorithm that, given a DNA strand represented as a string (e.g., “AGCTTTCGA”), locates and returns the longest contiguous palindromic segment. Identifying this region is key because palindromic sequences in DNA often serve as specific recognition sites for enzymes and play a role in forming secondary structures that influence biological functions. ...
