  • Pair-wise comparison of DNA sequences

    Hi,
    I'm hoping someone can help me with what I presume to be a simple task, but one I couldn't find a solution to myself

    I have a table of DNA sequences with two columns, like this:

    Seq1 Seq2
    AAGGTTCC GAGGTTCA
    GGTTCCAA TTAACTAC
    ...

    Now, I would like to do a pairwise comparison of these sequences and get a "similarity score" out of it...
    I.e. comparing Seq1 and Seq2 on a per-row basis, not across columns or an Seq1 to Seq2 comparison of all sequences.

    If an R package is available I would be extremely happy, but other options are of course more than welcome

    Thanks!


    EDIT
    I should mention that all sequences will be of the same length.
    The exact length is undecided, 12 at the shortest, 30 at the longest. It will depend on how results look.

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin


    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
