ARIADNE is a package of two programs, ariadne and prospero, that compare
|
|
protein sequences and profiles using the Smith-Waterman algorithm, and
|
|
assesses statistical significance using a new accurate formula,
|
|
described in Mott, 2000, "Accurate Formula for P-values of gapped local
|
|
sequence and profile alignments" J. Mol Biol. 300:649-659.
|
|
|
|
The sequence/profile comparison algorithms used in ARIADNE are standard,
|
|
and are probably not the fastest implementations available. The novel
|
|
part is the method for determining statistical significance, which will
|
|
give thresholds of significance that are accurate to within 5% 95% of
|
|
the time.
|
|
|
|
The package is written in ANSI C. You are free to incorporate the method
|
|
used for assessing statistical significance into third-party code,
|
|
provided you cite the above reference. The routines for assessing
|
|
significance are all in gaplib.c
