Fortunately, those of us who have learned how to sequence know that aligning sequences is a lot easier and less time consuming than creating them. Whether you’re employing sequencing gels, Sanger-based methods, or the latest in pyrosequencing or ion torrent technologies, obtaining, manipulating and analyzing your sequences has never been easier. We’re going to take a look at just the basics of sequence alignment to get you started. How many sequences can I align? You must have a minimum of 2 sequences to perform an alignment. For comparing 2 sequences you’ll need to perform a “pairwise” alignm
