5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of comparing comprises the step of calculating a distance between the input sequence SSM Matrix and each of the known SSM Matrices, and wherein the step of matching comprises the step of selecting at least one known sequence corresponding to the known SSM Matrix having the smallest distance from the step of calculating.
