Sequence alignment
Videos
In bioinformatics, a sequence alignment is a way of arranging the sequences of DNA, RNA, or protein to identify regions of similarity that may be a consequence of functional, structural, or evolutiona
Self comparison of a part of a mouse strain genome. The dot-plot shows a patchwork of lines, demonstrating duplicated segments of DNA.
Multiple sequence alignment
Videos
Multiple sequence alignment is the process or the result of sequence alignment of three or more biological sequences, generally protein, DNA, or RNA. These alignments are used to infer evolutionary re

…unique match' (MUM), or the longest subsequence that occurs in both query sequences. Longer MUM sequences typically reflect closer relatedness in the multiple sequence alignment of genomes in computational biology. Identification of MUMs and other potential anchors, is the first step in larger alignment systems such as MUMmer…
