In a recent study I used variable length genes. It hasn't been published
yet, but (hopefully) you can fetch it from
     http://www.princeton.edu/~jtoth/papers/gaaa.ps.
It happens to deal with higher cardinality alphabets as  well. I doubt it
is the kind of staff you're interested in but there  are some pointers to
further literature that may prove to be useful.

Let me know if I can be of further help.
