Margaret Dayho5f developed a set of constructs widely used in this process by examining the parsimony of phylogenetic trees.
The expected number of times that this process occurs by chance is directly proportional to the search space according to the Karlin-Altschul equation. Margaret Dayho5f developed a set of constructs widely used in this process by examining the parsimony of phylogenetic trees. An algorithm that performs this process begins by taking the k-words of a given query, identifying seeds within a database, and then extending those seeds until a certain fall-o5f score is reached. The presence of a zero in the scoring function distinguishes the local form of this process from its global form, the former of which was developed by Michael Waterman. The NCBI website hosts an algorithm that performs this process. For 10 points, name this process, performed by the BLAST ("blast") algorithm, in which multiple nucleic acid or protein sequences are arranged to determine similarity.
