Hello everyone, Here is the November Bioinformatics Bulletin entitled “Pairwise Sequence Alignments.” This bulletin will briefly introduce the reader to the purpose of performing sequence alignments, the difference between global and local alignments, scoring matrices, and alignment scores. I hope that you all will find this interesting and useful. Please feel free to forward this bulletin to anyone you think might be interested or send me their email address and I will add their email address to my list. Sincerely, Edgar J.
