Sequence similarity often suggests evolutionary relationships between protein sequences that can be important for inferring similarity of structure or function. The most widely-used pairwise sequence comparison algorithms for homology detection, such as BLAST and PSI-BLAST, often fail to detect less conserved remotely-related targets.
