Abstract: - Pairwise sequence Alignment is one of the ways to arrange the two biological sequences to identify regions of similarity that may indicate functional, structural, and/or evolutionary relationship between the sequences (proteins or nucleic acids). In Pairwise sequence alignment we have two methods- Local Alignment (Smith-waterman algorithm) and Global Alignment (Needleman-Wunsch algorithm). In Local Alignment we treat two sequences may or may not be related and see whether a sub-string in one sequence align well with sub-string in the other, which can be applicable in searching for local similarities in large sequences. Whereas in Global Sequence Alignment we treat two Sequences as potentially equivalent, which identifies conserved regions and differences which can be applicable in comparing two genes with same functions. By using both alignment methods we are trying to find that on what conditions we can get the highest similarity between the pair of biological sequences. Smith-waterman and Needleman-Wunsch are the two algorithms used to check the percentage of similarity between the pair of biological Sequences.
