Pairwise Alignment Algorithm For Primary Protein Sequences
Abstract
Bioinformatics is the study and application of computational methods to life sciences data and the application of
information technology to store, organize and analyze the vast amount of biological data. Bio sequences typically have a small
alphabet, a long length, and patterns containing gaps of arbitrary size. Sequence alignment is still a serious problem when low
levels of sequence identity are involved. Alignment algorithms are needed to compare two or more sequences. Pair-wise
sequence alignment is concerned with comparing two Protein or DNA sequences - finding the global and local “optimum
alignment” of the two sequences. Protein sequence alignment has become one of the most powerful tools for characterizing
protein sequences because of the enormous amount of information that is preserved throughout the evolutionary process. So,
pairwise alignment algorithm for protein sequences is proposed.
