This systematic literature review examines the diverse land-scape of multiple sequence alignment algorithms, categorizing them based on their underlying approaches and analyzing their strengths, limitations, and applications. We explore seven major categories of alignment methods: dynamic programming, progressive alignment, iterative refinement, Hidden Markov Model-based, consistency-based, structure-based, and machine learning-based approaches. Through comprehensive analysis of recent benchmarks and literature, we identify key innovations, performance characteristics, and emerging trends in the field. This review provides a detailed overview of the evolution of multiple sequence alignment algorithms and their applications in modern bioinformatics.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Keywords:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"c-article-subject-list\">\n<li class=\"c-article-subject-list__subject\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Multi sequence alignment<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c-article-subject-list__subject\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Bioinformatics<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c-article-subject-list__subject\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Computational biology<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c-article-subject-list__subject\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Algorithms<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c-article-subject-list__subject\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Deep learning<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c-article-subject-list__subject\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Benchmarking<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_text=&#8221;Downloadable PDF&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s10791-026-09911-3&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#8A1538&#8243;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lead Researcher(s): Jeneffer Sabonsolin and Demelo LaoStatus: Published Abstract\/summary: Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a fundamental technique in computational biology that compares protein, DNA, or RNA sequences to identify regions of similarity reflecting functional, structural, or evolutionary relationships.
