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 evolutionary relationships between the sequences. [1] Aligned sequences of nucleotide or amino acid residues are typically represented as rows within a matrix.
Bowtie is a software package commonly used for sequence alignment and sequence analysis in bioinformatics. [3] The source code for the package is distributed freely and compiled binaries are available for Linux, macOS and Windows platforms. As of 2017, the Genome Biology paper describing the original Bowtie method has been cited more than ...
CDD content includes NCBI manually curated domain models and domain models imported from a number of external source databases (Pfam, SMART, COG, PRK, TIGRFAMs).What is unique about NCBI-curated domains is that they use 3D-structure information to explicitly define domain boundaries, align blocks, amend alignment details, and provide insights into sequence/structure/function relationships.
Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) 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 relationships via phylogenetic analysis and can highlight homologous features between sequences.
This page is a subsection of the list of sequence alignment software. Multiple alignment visualization tools typically serve four purposes: Aid general understanding of large-scale DNA or protein alignments; Visualize alignments for figures and publication; Manually edit and curate automatically generated alignments; Analysis in depth
The NCBI assigns a unique identifier (taxonomy ID number) to each species of organism. [5] The NCBI has software tools that are available through internet browsers or by FTP. For example, BLAST is a sequence similarity searching program. BLAST can do sequence comparisons against the GenBank DNA database in less than 15 seconds.

A profile HMM modelling a multiple sequence alignment. HMMER is a free and commonly used software package for sequence analysis written by Sean Eddy. [2] Its general usage is to identify homologous protein or nucleotide sequences, and to perform sequence alignments.
