Local sequence alignments statistics: deviations from Gumbel statistics in the rare-event tail
Background: The optimal score for ungapped local alignments of infinitely long random sequences is known to follow a Gumbel extreme value distribution. Less is known about the imp...

Accurate statistics for local sequence alignment with position-dependent scoring by rare-event sampling
Background: Molecular database search tools need statistical models to assess the significance for the resulting hits. In the classical approach one asks the question how probable...

Evolution of biological sequences implies an extreme value distribution of type I for both global and local pairwise alignment s
Background: Confidence in pairwise alignments of biological sequences, obtained by various methods such as Blast or Smith-Waterman, is critical for automatic analyses of genomic d...
