Bioinformatics - Sequence Similarity: Outline
Identifying similarities among sequences is an important technique for many biological questions such as: are two organisms/gene/proteins related to each other? Or: can a drug that works against one type of cancer be applied to other cancers, too? Learn what sequence similarity is, how it is being determined, and how it can be used to answer biological questions.
