Sequence Similarity & Scoring Methods
1. Dot-Matrix Method
is done by putting one sequence along the y-axis on left
side & another sequence on x-axis horizontally on top.
this method generates a simple matrix of sequence, while
each item of the matrix is a measure of similarity of those
two residues on the horizontal & vertical sequence.
2. Dynamic Programming
this method is used in computer science, mathematics,
management science, economics.
Multiple Sequence Alignment
• EBI ClustalW Server
Preparing Multiple Sequence
“*” refers to the residues or nucleotides in that column are identical in all
sequences in the alignment.
“:” indicates that conserved substitutions have been observed.
“.” indicates that semi-conserved substitutions are observed.

E = 0.0 means
≤10-1000
E value: is the expectation value or probability to find by
chance hits similar to your sequence. The lower the E, the
more significant the score.
