Abstract

In the analysis of molecular evolution, it is very frequent to consider M sequences at a time, where M greater than 2. The simultaneous study of the relationships among M sequences is a large and difficult problem. This paper presents a new approach to multiple protein sequence comparison based on Genetic Algorithms, (G.A.). In particular, it is described an algorithm for finding the alignment of three protein sequences; besides, it can be easily changed for finding the alignment of more than three sequences or for other types of sequences. The G.A. was originally developed for only two sequences comparison [Morato96].
