Multiple sequence alignment is discussed in light of homology assessments in phylogenetic research. Pairwise and multiple alignment methods are reviewed as exact and heuristic procedures. Since the object of alignment is to create the most efficient statement of initial homology, methods that minimi

A new phenomenological approach to explorative data analysis, the estimation of spectra of supporting positions, allows the search for conserved tracks left by phylogeny in DNA sequences. Spectra of supporting positions can be generated without reference to a tree topology or a model of sequence evo
We consider the problem of aligning of k sequences of length n. The cost function is sum of pairs, and satisfies triangle inequality. Earlier results on finding approximation algorithms for this problem are due to Gusfield (1991) who achieved an approximation ratio of 2 -2/k, and Pevzner (1992) who
