Sequence alignment : methods, models, concepts, and strategies /

The sequencing of the human genome involved thousands of scientists but used relatively few tools. Today, obtaining sequences is simpler, but aligning the sequences-making sure that sequences from one source are properly compared to those from other sources-remains a complicated but underappreciated...
