Bioinformatics involves analyzing biological sequences through sequence alignment to uncover functional, structural, and evolutionary insights. This process helps in tasks like annotation of sequences, modeling protein structures, and analyzing gene expression experiments. Basic steps include compar

Phylogeny is the study of evolutionary relationships among organisms, depicted in phylogenetic trees based on shared characteristics. This overview delves into terms like homology, analogy, monophyly, and co-evolution in angiosperms with an emphasis on taxonomy, systematics, and the evolutionary his

Sequence alignment is the comparison of DNA or protein sequences to highlight similarities, often indicating a common ancestral sequence. This process is essential in determining homology and functional similarities between sequences. Types of alignment include global and local alignment, with chall

Taxonomic groups in microbiology are initially constructed from strains, with each strain representing a unique lineage. The concept of species within bacterial taxonomy, consisting of similar strains, is vital. Criteria for defining bacterial species are evolving, with DNA homology becoming a promi
