Flows that share a common prefix may share a prefix of an EmbeddingState chain, but diverge at some point, thus forming an EmbeddingState tree.
The primary benefit of ESAsearch is that whenever two or more W-sub-sequences share a prefix the score for that prefix is only calculated once.
Both astrology and astronomy have Greek roots, and they share the prefix astro- which means, of course, "star". The suffix -ology means "knowledge" or "science". The suffix -onomy means "management" or "measurement". The same suffix can be found in economy (managing money), agronomy (managing land), gastronomy (the art and science of food), etc.
Flows that do not share a prefix form disconnected state at any given InP.
The genes NKX2-3, NKX2-5 and NKX2-6 form a gene family, quite distinct from other human genes that confusingly share the prefix NKX2.
The principle behind the original concept was that machines with similar (bad) behavior that shared an IP prefix would suggest they belong to a same network with problems.
To predict the species composition of a sample, 454 pyrosequencing fragments that had a Pfam hit were labeled according to the longest common prefix shared by the most similar members of the Pfam family.
Another common, easy way for finding duplicates is to compare prefixes and consider that the reads are duplicates if they share a common prefix of a certain length.
In fact, CGR maps prefixes with shared suffixes close to each other reflecting the property that, wherever the sequence context may be, the same suffix will be always mapped in the same region of CGR.
This is because places that generate large traffic, like big companies and universities, tend to share a particular prefix.
