Genomc Project . The field has not only benefited from the many concepts and techniques developed in theoreticaI computer science, but also provided many interesting research problems . In this column . we include five open problems that are concerned with the design of efficient algorithms an d computational complexity. Some of these problems have existed in the literature for a whil e
