MeSH definition : The arrangement of two or more amino acid or base sequences from an organism or organisms
in such a way as to align areas of the sequences sharing common properties. The degree
of relatedness or homology between the sequences is predicted computationally or statistically
based on weights assigned to the elements aligned between the sequences. This in turn
can serve as a potential indicator of the genetic relatedness between the organisms.;
