contents Mining multiple longest common subsequences (\textit{MLCS}) from a set of sequences of three or more over a finite alphabet $Σ$ (a classical NP-hard problem) is an important task in a wide variety of application fields. Unfortunately, there is still no exact \textit{MLCS} algorithm/tool that can handle long (length $\ge$ 1,000) or big (length $\ge$ 10,000) sequences, which seriously hinders the development and utilization of massive long or big sequences from various application fields today. To address the challenge, we first propose a novel key point-based \textit{MLCS} algorithm for mining big sequences, called \textit{KP-MLCS}, and then present a new method, which can compactly represent all mined \textit{MLCSs} and quickly reveal common patterns among them. Furthermore, by introducing some new techniques, e.g., real-time graphic visualization and serialization, we have developed a new online visual \textit{MLCS} mining tool, called OVT-MLCS. OVT-MLCS demonstrates that it not only enables effective online mining, storing, and downloading of \textit{MLCSs} in the form of graphs and text from long or big sequences with a scale of 3 to 5000 but also provides user-friendly interactive functions to facilitate inspection and analysis of the mined \textit{MLCS}s. We believe that the functions provided by OVT-MLCS will promote stronger and wider applications of \textit{MLCS}.
