Approximate statistics of gapped alignments.

A heuristic approximation to the score distribution of gapped alignments in the logarithmic domain is presented. The method applies to comparisons between random, unrelated protein sequences, using standard score matrices and arbitrary gap penalties. It is shown that gapped alignment behavior is ess...
