closehypergraphs are also useful for sequence alignment!

I enjoyed your Perspective on hypergraphs for cellular biology. We published an article, "Fast Statistical Alignment," in this same issue where we use hypergraphs for a rather different application. We explicitly represent a multiple sequence alignment as a hypergraph (which can be described by a partially ordered set) and then dynamically construct the hypergraph using pairwise homology statements.
