+<body>
+<p><strong>Pairwise alignment (Proteins only)</strong></p>
+<p>This calculation is performed on the selected sequences only. Java is not the
+ fastest language in the world and aligning more than a handful of sequences
+ will take a fair amount of time. <br>
+ For each pair of sequences the best global alignment is found using BLOSUM62
+ as the scoring matrix. The scores reported are the raw scores. The sequences
+ are aligned using a dynamic programming technique and using the following gap
+ penalties : </p>
+<p>Gap open : 12 <br>
+ Gap extend : 2 </p>
+<p>When you select the pairwise alignment option a new window will come up which
+ will display the alignments in a text format as they are calculated. Also displayed
+ is information about the alignment such as alignment score, length and percentage
+ identity between the sequences.</p>
