When comparing two sequences to identify similarities and differences between them, generally, a measure of how similar they are is also desirable. Similar sequences probably have the same ancestor, share the same structure, and have a similar biological function. A typical approach to solve this problem is to find a good and reasonable alignment between the two sequences. Then, given an appropriate scoring scheme, their similarity can be computed. This study describes the concepts, tools and implementation of selected algorithms being used for sequence analysis.
