Similarity of sequences
In bioinformatic reality finding exact matches between sequences is not enough. Biological sequences may not be perfectly identical because of
- experimental errors that may have occurred in the determination of the sequence,
- mutations Sequences may have changed in course of evolution
Further, biologist more often want to find other sequences that are similar to their sequence of interest then to re-identify identical sequences.
