Pairwise alignment (Proteins only)
+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.
+ 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 :
Gap open : 12
+ Gap extend : 2
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.
