\r
5 <p>This calculation is performed on the selected sequences only. Java is not the
\r
6 fastest language in the world and aligning more than a handful of sequences
\r
7 will take a fair amount of time. <br>
\r
8 For each pair of sequences the best global alignment is found using BLOSUM62
\r
9 as the scoring matrix. The scores reported are the raw scores. The sequences
\r
10 are aligned using a dynamic programming technique and using the following gap
\r
12 <p>Gap open : 12 <br>
\r
14 <p>When you select the pairwise alignment option a new window will come up which
\r
15 will display the alignments in a text format as they are calculated. Also displayed
\r
16 is information about the alignment such as alignment score, length and percentage
\r
17 identity between the sequences.</p>
