what typical size of sequence files while conducting pairwise sequence alignments? can align whole genome of organisms?
there 2 types of pairwise sequence alignments, local , global.
local pairwise alignment trying locate parts of 2 sequences similar. there not typical sequence size since there huge variation. humans 10-15kb (10000-15000 base pairs), according this: http://bionumbers.hms.harvard.edu/bionumber.aspx?&id=104316&ver=1 .
in case of global alignment, attempt align residues of 2 sequences. using global alignment methods, can align whole genome of organisms has use in case of closely related organisms, genome has not diverged lot. example of how can done, see this: http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/index.php/whole_genome_alignment_howto
also, describes multiple whole genome alignments can more useful: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmc3157923/
