Can anyone recommend any good reviews on seed and extend alignment algorithms? (Or sequence alignment algorithm in general)

thanks!

Start by reading this review (A survey of sequence alignment algorithms for next-generation sequencing). Then go over the references and select the paper for the tool you are more interested on.

The author of LASTZ (Bob Harris) has a thesis here(pdf) that I think is pretty comprehensive and readable.

It covers seeds, spaced seeds, gapped and gap-free extension, "quantum sequences" and others.

Hi,

If you are looking for a nice review in Multiple Sequence Alignment programs/algorithms, I'd like to recommend you this one http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19648142. It was written a couple of years ago for one of the most active guy in the field. I hope that helps you.
