Explore sequence alignment by understanding how matches, mismatches, insertions, and deletions relate to biological sequences. Learn to identify the longest common subsequence, a key concept used to compare DNA strings and understand their evolutionary relationships.

We'll cover the following...

We now define an alignment of sequences v{v} and w{w} as a two-row matrix such that the first row contains the symbols of v{v} (in order), the second row contains the ...
