A Simple Derivation of the Distribution of Pairwise Local Protein Sequence Alignment Scores
Confidence in pairwise alignments of biological sequences, obtained by various methods such as Blast or Smith-Waterman, is critical for automatic analyses of genomic data. In the asymptotic limit of long sequences, the Karlin-Altschul model computes a P-value assuming that the number of high scoring...
