I would expect it to be this one:-

ID#:   EP1320827,   WO02075636 ,  AU9442001, WO0227638

Basically, it claims a patent on applying SIMD instruction sets to 
Smith-Waterman.

These are the papers:-

Which only goes to show that even without the patent system changes the US 
is pushing upon the EU, we are quite capable of matching the USPTO.
