ARIADNE is a package of two programs, ariadne and prospero, that |
| 7 |
compare protein sequences and profiles using the Smith-Waterman |
| 8 |
algorithm, and assesses statistical significance using a new accurate |
| 9 |
formula, described in Mott, 2000, "Accurate Formula for P-values of |
| 10 |
gapped local sequence and profile alignments" J. Mol Biol. 300:649-659. |
| 11 |
The sequence/profile comparison algorithms used in ARIADNE are |
| 12 |
standard, and are probably not the fastest implementations available. |
| 13 |
The novel part is the method for determining statistical significance, |
| 14 |
which will give thresholds of significance that are accurate to within |
| 15 |
5% 95% of the time. |
