AHVIVspecific
AHVIVspecific is a term used in the field of bioinformatics to describe a specific type of sequence alignment algorithm. It is designed to align nucleotide sequences, particularly those from viral genomes, with a focus on identifying conserved regions and mutations. The algorithm uses a dynamic programming approach to compare sequences, taking into account the specific characteristics of viral genomes, such as their high mutation rates and the presence of conserved domains.
AHVIVspecific was developed to address the challenges posed by the rapid evolution of viral genomes. It incorporates
The AHVIVspecific algorithm has been used in various studies to analyze viral genomes, including those of influenza,
