Gap penalties are used during sequence alignment. Gap penalties contribute to the overall score of alignments, and therefore, the size of the gap penalty relative to the entries in the similarity matrix affects the alignment that is finally selected. Selecting a higher gap penalty will cause less favourable characters to be aligned, to avoid creating as many gaps.
