Examples of ADTs include Employee, Vehicle, Array, and List. Consider the List ADT (also known as the Sequence ADT), which describes an ordered collection of elements that share a common type.

In his book The Master Algorithm, Pedro Domingos offers a masterfully simple definition: “An algorithm is,” Domingos writes, “a sequence of instructions telling a computer what to do.” ...

Thus, by using sequence homology, SIFT predicts the effects of all possible substitutions at each position in the protein sequence. The protocol typically takes 5–20 min, depending on the input.
