Resumo	ChIP-seq peak calling is a computational pipeline that identifies genomic regions where a protein of interest — a transcription factor or histone modification — is enriched, based on sequencing reads from chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments. It converts raw sequencing data into a set of high-confidence binding or modification sites across the genome, enabling downstream analysis of gene regulation, chromatin state, and epigenetic mechanisms.	Sequence alignment is a foundational bioinformatics technique that arranges two or more DNA, RNA, or protein sequences to reveal regions of similarity, infer evolutionary relationships, identify functional domains, and map sequencing reads to reference genomes. It underpins virtually every downstream genomic analysis, from variant calling and gene expression quantification to phylogenetics and structural annotation.
