Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is the basis for many aspects of molecular sequence analysis including phylogenetics, motif detection and molecular modeling.

[21] Biologists organize and analyze evolutionary relationships through various methods, including phylogenetics, phenetics, and cladistics.
