Hi! I've just discovered Jalview, I have a social sciences background, I'm 
studying life trajectories as sequences of states.

I'm wondering if I could apply Jalview for aligning sequences of  a fixed 
number of  symbols (for example 50) each
one representing a life state of one person (A= Birth, B= Start elementary 
school, C= Start Ballet, D= Get married, E= First child,
F= Get divorced, G= Second marriage, ..., &= Quit first job, *= Night 
courses,.. etc). 

So each sequence is one person's life and I have for example 3000 persons.


Could I apply the tree-based grouping of sequences functionality (e.g. 
Neighbour joining or Average disance)  to get similar life trajectories 
using Jalview? 

I hope so!!!

Thanks in advance and my apologies for this naive question..

All the best.Karen
