Effects of Long-Range Correlations in DNA on Sequence Alignment Score Statistics
Long-range correlations in genomic base composition are a ubiquitous statistical feature among many eukaryotic genomes. In this article, these correlations are shown to substantia...

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...

Alignment Statistics for Long-Range Correlated Genomic Sequences
It is well known that the base composition along eukaryotic genomes is long-range correlated. Here, we investigate the effect of such long-range correlations on alignment score sta...
