A simple method for aligning many protein sequences.
A simple extension of the Needleman and Wunsch algorithm for aligning pairs of protein sequences allows it to be used for the efficient generation of very large multiple-sequence alignments whose members are similar. This technique could have applications in a broad range of high-volume genomics projects.
