Obtaining an accurate multiple alignment of protein sequences is a difficult computational problem for which many heuristic techniques sacrifice optimality to achieve reasonable r...
Computing large multiple protein sequence alignments using progressive alignment tools such as ClustalW requires several hours on state-of-the-art workstations. ClustalW uses a th...
