A simple method for detecting similarities in sequences is described. It is used:1 To provide similarity measures for classifying 25 cytochromes by their amino acid sequences, 2 to detect repetitions in the amino acid sequences of various proteins, 3 to detect regions of possible base‐pairing in the nucleotide sequence of a nuclei acid.
