Background: Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a useful tool in bioinformatics. Although many MSA algorithms have been developed, there is still room for improvement in accuracy...
Background: The estimation of the difference between two evolutionary distances within a triplet of homologs is a common operation that is used for example to determine which of t...
