We present our recent results on the fluctuation of Optimal Alignments of random sequences and Longest Common Subsequences (LCS). We show how OA and LCS are special cases of certain Last Passage Percolation models which can also be viewed as growth models. this is joint work with Saba Amsalu, Raphael Hauser and Ionel Popescu.
