This document presents an overview of bioinformatics, focusing on sequence alignment and phylogenetics. It highlights methods such as pairwise and multiple sequence alignment to identify similarity regions among biological sequences. Mentored by experts in the field, students, including Zachary Deema Al Ghanim, Jacqueline Sandrick, and others, delve into computational challenges such as pairwise sequence alignment and visualization of dissimilarity matrices. Additionally, it discusses phylogenetic analysis, tree structures, and relevant software tools like PHYLIP and ClustalW to advance evolutionary studies.
