In [[Bioinformatics]], multiple alignment can be used to study [[evolutionary]] relationships between sequences of [[proteins]] or [[genes]]. Since the changes between gene sequences due to evolution are incremental, genes with a common evolutionary origin (or their protein products) can be compared by aligning identical or similar [[residues]].
