Question

Which of the following statements regarding multiple sequence alignment algorithms are correct (select all that apply)? -An exhaustive (brute force) algorithm for multiple sequence alignment tries to generate a multidimensional matrix, evaluate all possible alignments. An exhaustive algorithm for multiple sequence alignment is time consuming, can only work with a small set of short sequences. A heuristic algorithm is usually faster than an exhaustive algorithm. The majority of multiple sequence alignment algorithms are heuristic.

Explanation / Answer

- A heuristic algorithm is usually faster than an exhaustive algorithm.

- The majority of multiple sequence alignment algorithms are heuristic.
