A multiple objective evolutionary algorithm for multiple sequence alignment

The problem of multiple sequence alignment is important for bioinformatics. This problem is widely studied and a popular tool to solve this problem is Clustal X. This work introduces a multiple objective evolutionary algorithm to improve solutions obtained from Clustal X. The proposed method is tested with the dataset from BAliBASE database.
