Received: 24 April 2018; Accepted: 07 July 2018; Published: 08 August 2018 Abstract—The perfect alignment between three or more global alignment algorithm built-in dynamic sequences of Protein, RNA or DNA is a very difficult programming technique [1]. This algorithm maximizes task in bioinformatics. There are many techniques for the number of amino acid matches and minimizes the alignment multiple sequences. Many techniques number of required gaps to finds globally optimal maximize speed and do not concern with the accuracy of alignment. Local alignments are more useful for aligning the resulting alignment. Likewise, many techniques sub-regions of the sequences, whereas local alignment maximize accuracy and do not concern with the speed. maximizes sub-regions similarity alignment. One of the Reducing memory and execution time requirements and most known of Local alignment is Smith-Waterman increasing the accuracy of multiple sequence alignment algorithm [2]. on large-scale datasets are the vital goal of any technique.

We’ll use five prominent MSA programs: ClustalW, Praline, MUSCLE (used at HomoloGene), ProbCons, and TCoffee. Each program offers unique strengths. We’ll focus on a histidine (H) residue that has a critical role in binding oxygen in globins, and should be aligned. But often it’s not aligned, and all five programs give different answers.

In the context of protein sequence data, phylogenetic analysis is one of the cornerstones of comparative sequence analysis and has many applications in the study of protein evolution and function.
