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