IDENTIFICATION OF RELATED RESIDUES IN BIOMOLECULAR SEQUENCES BY MULTIPLE SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT AND PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS

Data clustering is described for determining related components of the data. In one example, information on biomolecules may be clustered into groups in which the biomolecular data in a clustered group may indicate data that shares a relationship. For example, monomers of a protein molecule or a nucleic acid molecule may be mapped to an evolutionary or phylogenetic tree. Candidate groupings of the information may be obtained based on evolutionary relationships among sequences corresponding to the molecules.
