Very interesting write up too! I often read that computational biology is a different beast than the rest of the computational landscape (which usually revolve around solving PDE's fundamentally) and this was a nice picture into at least one problem on that side of the pond. A "best substring" search to me sounds closer to the kind of problems CS people think about than what computational cats do.
