Background: Although both conservation and correlated mutation (CM) are important information reflecting the different sorts of context in multiple sequence alignment, most of ali...
DNA sequence alignment is a critical step in identifying homology between organisms. The most widely used alignment program, ClustalW, is known to suffer from the local minima pro...
