N2 - COVID-19 can mutate rapidly, resulting in new variants which could be more malignant. To recognize the new variant, we must identify the mutation parts by locating the nucleotide changes in the DNA sequence of COVID-19. The identification is by processing sequence alignment. In this work, we propose a method to perform multiple sequence alignment via deep reinforcement learning effectively. The proposed method integrates a progressive alignment approach by aligning each pairwise sequence center to deep Q networks. We designed the experiment by evaluating the proposed method on five COVID-19 variants: alpha, beta, delta, gamma, and omicron. The experiment results showed that the proposed method was successfully applied to align multiple COVID-19 DNA sequences by demonstrating that pairwise alignment processes can precisely locate the sequence mutation up to 90 %. Moreover, we effectively identify the mutation in multiple sequence alignments fashion by discovering around 10.8 % conserved region of nitrogenous bases.
