요약	Bayesian sequence alignment treats the alignment of biological sequences (DNA, RNA, or protein) as a probabilistic inference problem rather than a deterministic optimization. Instead of returning a single best alignment, it samples from a posterior distribution over all plausible alignments given a substitution model and gap penalty priors, thereby quantifying alignment uncertainty. It is particularly valuable when downstream analyses such as phylogenetic inference or functional annotation are sensitive to alignment error.	Variant calling is the computational process of identifying positions in a sequenced genome that differ from a reference sequence — including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), small insertions and deletions (indels), and structural variants. It transforms aligned sequencing reads into an interpretable catalogue of genetic differences, forming the foundation for population genetics, disease-gene discovery, and clinical genomics applications.
