Sequence Analysis Alignments dot-plots scoring scheme Substitution matrices Search algorithms (BLAST)
Why Compare Sequences?
Positions not critical to function can mutate randomly!!!!!
Sequence Comparisons Homology similarity due to a common ancestor no degrees of homology Paralogy Orthology Homework: Define para/ ortholog
