Biological molecules play a significant role in both human and animals and it thus necessary to apply knowledge of biological molecules for healthcare, pharmaceutical, diagnostics and biotechnology purposes. These biological molecules are formed of DNA, RNA or protein, which are built from a continuous chain of nucleotide bases or amino acids – called a biological sequence.
For many years, bacteria or viruses have been of intense interest to researchers. Biological sequence research helps to provide greater understanding of their pathophysiology, which in turn guides researchers to develop therapeutics or diagnostics for the diseases caused by these bacteria or viruses.
There are two forms of biological sequences:
