Abstract Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) problem is considered an NP-hard problem
due to its nature of alignment of more than three or more biological sequences like protein or …

Multiple sequence alignment is of central importance to bioinformatics and computational
biology. Although a large number of algorithms for computing a multiple sequence …

In this paper, we have proposed a progressive alignment method using a genetic algorithm
for multiple sequence alignment, named GAPAM. We have introduced two new mechanisms …

Abstract Motivation: Multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) are widely used approaches in
bioinformatics to carry out other tasks such as structure predictions, biological function …

In the bioinformatics community, it is really important to find an accurate and simultaneous
alignment among diverse biological sequences which are assumed to have an evolutionary …

Over the last 25 years, the multiple sequence alignment (MSA) problem has attracted the
attention of biologists because it is one of the major techniques used in several areas of …

Abstract Background Many Bioinformatics studies begin with a multiple sequence alignment
as the foundation for their research. This is because multiple sequence alignment can be a …

Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a fundamental and key step for implementing other
tasks in bioinformatics, such as phylogenetic analyses, identification of conserved motifs and …
