Sequence Analysis

Sequence Analysis. In CADD research, one often knows the genetic sequence of multiple organisms or the amino acid sequence of proteins from several species. It is very useful to determine how similar or dissimilar the organisms are based on gene or protein sequences. With this information one can infer the evolutionary relationships of the organisms, search for similar sequences in bioinformatic databases and find related species to those under investigation. There are many bioinformatic sequence analysis tools that can be used to determine the level of sequence similarity.
