Sequence Alignment: Methods, Models, Concepts, and Strategies

"Sequence alignment represents the final frontier in the development of repeatable, comprehensive methods for phylogenetic analysis. This book will inform readers about the current status of alignment methods and will help stimulate additional work in the field."—David M. Hillis, University of Texas

"Sequence Alignment provides an in-depth treatment of the prerequisite to many evolutionary analyses by presenting a diversity of opinions on the best way to align complex molecular sequence data. Topics covered include the basic algorithms used, global versus local procedures, the robustness alignment error detection, and a description of the programs now available. Sequence Alignment is a reassuring companion, guiding the reader through a large and complicated field."—John Huelsenbeck, Department of
Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley
