- <strong>AACon Alignment Conservation Calculation Service</strong>
- <p>The JABAWS AACon service implements 17 different conservation
- scores for protein sequence alignments.</p>
- <p>
- The majority of these scores were described by Valdar in 2002 (Scoring
- residue conservation. <em>Proteins: Structure, Function, and
- Genetics</em> 43(2): 227-241. <a
- href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12112692">PubMed</a> or
- available on the <a
- href="http://www.well.ox.ac.uk/~valdar/publications.html">Valdar
- Group publications page</a>), but the SMERFs score was developed later
- and described by Manning et al. in 2008 (<a
