real life situations using palindrome algorithm

Question

so, for my final project in data structure class, we are to develop algorithms for palindrome, but I sorta want to fancy it up a bit and make into a mini program, what real life situation mimic the usage of palindrome,exempt for works on strings, thanks !

Answer 1

In real life, could be used for some compression algorithms.

For example there are researches about biological sequence compression algorithms, that use this property

HERE, HERE and HERE more details

Answer 2

Palindromes are used in DNA for marking and permitting cutting. They are used to change one dimensional chain into 2 or 3 dimensional structure.
