sequence alignment
Matching biological strings
Sequence alignment is a technique in molecular biology for arranging DNA, RNA, or protein sequences to identify regions of similarity.
By lining up sequences and inserting gaps where needed, researchers can detect evolutionary relationships, predict protein function, or identify mutations.
The sequence alignment revealed the two species shared a common ancestor.
