Abstract
Protein sequence data has begun playing a significant role in biology and biochemistry. In the past, protein sequence determination was usually one of the last steps in the characterization of a protein. Given the advancements of the Human Genome Project, one can first sequence all the genes and use sequence analysis to infer function using sequence alignment methods.
