Pairwise and Multiple sequence alignments

Sequence alignment is a widely used bioinformatic technique to try to align several related sequences to find residues / bases which are conserved between sequences and which are variable. Conserved residues may be an essential part of the active site of an enzyme for example, and variable residues could be part of a 'generic' alpha helix.

Population Genetics

Population genetics is the study of the distributions and changes of allele frequencies in a population, as it is subject to four main processes: mutation, selection, genetic drift and genetic recombination.
