Why do we want to compare sequences?? What is underlying hypothesis when you predict a function by comparing two sequences ?????
Why do we want to compare sequences?? Positions not critical to function can mutate randomly!!!!!
Why do we want to compare sequences?? Find an example where the above is not necessarily true
Sequence Comparisons • Homology • similarity due to a common ancestor • no degrees of homology
