Abstract

Biological sequence analysis is the most fundamental work in bioinformatics. Many research methods have been developed in the development of biological sequence analysis. These methods include sequence alignment-based methods and alignment-free methods. In addition, there are also some sequence analysis methods based on the feature definition and quantification of the sequence itself. This editorial introduces the methods of biological sequence analysis and explores the significance of defining features and quantitative research of biological sequences.

Keywords: Biological sequence, sequence alignment, alignment-free analysis, texture feature, feature definition, quantitative research.
