Evolution of biological sequences implies an extreme value distribution of type I for both global and local pairwise alignment scores
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>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. Two statistical models have been proposed. In the asymptotic...
