Pairwise sequence alignment


First, select the most suitable options to perform the pairwise alignments, paste your raw unknown sequence and click on the "start alignment" button.

Identifications will be performed in a monophasic way. This means that only DNA or protein sequences will be compared to produce a global similarity or probability coefficient between the unknown sequence and the reference sequence database. Results should be evaluated with care and a critical mind.

Please contact the curator of the database if you feel that you need more explanations on how the comparisons are performed.
