Topics

Compare Sequences Using Sequence Alignment Algorithms

Starting with a DNA sequence for a human gene, locate and verify a corresponding gene in a model organism.

View and Align Multiple Sequences

Use the Sequence Alignment app to visually inspect a multiple alignment and make manual adjustments.

Sequence Alignments

You can select from a list of analysis methods to compare nucleotide or amino acid sequences using pairwise or multiple sequence alignment functions.

Sequence Utilities and Statistics

You can manipulate and analyze your sequences to gain a deeper understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of your data.
