Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a cornerstone of computational biology, facilitating the exploration of functional, structural and evolutionary relationships among biological sequences.
In the beginning, there was Needleman-Wunsch, which begat Smith-Waterman, which begat FASTA, which begat BLAST, and so on. Peel away the information technology jargon surrounding these alignment ...
Next-generation sequencing, PacBio SMRT sequencing, and Nanopore sequencing, can generate numerous sequence data in a single run. Raw reads or assembled sequence need to be submitted to public ...
