Assessing Multiple Sequence Alignments Using Visual Tools

Bioinformatics and molecular evolutionary analyses most often start with comparing DNA or amino acid sequences by aligning them. Pairwise alignment, for example, is used to measure the similarities between a query sequence and each of those in a database in BLAST similarity search, the most used bioinformatics tool (Altschul et al., 1990; Camacho et al.
