hi, what is the motivation of multiple sequence alignment?

thanks

This reply might be late but I thought someone else might benefit.

- Multiple sequence alignment can find biologically important sequence similarities that may be widely dispersed or hidden in the sequences
- Multiple sequence alignment can provide information about the evolutionary history of the respective sequences
- Multiple sequence alignment can give insight into the basis for sequence similarities between homologous sequence

many thanks, because you late, i looked for these information and know it .
but , it is good to ask another question.
if i have set of sequences and want to find out the similarity among them, what is the best wat to use pairewise o multiple sequence?

thanks again
