        Finding analytically the statistics of the longest common 
subsequence (LCS) of a pair of random sequences 
drawn from c alphabets is a challenging 
problem in computational evolutionary biology. We 
present exact asymptotic results for the distribution of 
the LCS in a simpler, yet nontrivial, variant of the 
original model called the Bernoulli matching (BM) model. 
We show that...
