Description-en: PROBabilistic CONSistency-based multiple sequence alignment
Tool for generating multiple alignments of protein sequences. Using a
combination of probabilistic modeling and consistency-based alignment
techniques, PROBCONS has achieved the highest accuracies of all alignment
methods to date. On the BAliBASE benchmark alignment database, alignments
produced by PROBCONS show statistically significant improvement over current
programs, containing an average of 7% more correctly aligned columns than
those of T-Coffee, 11% more correctly aligned columns than those of CLUSTAL W,
and 14% more correctly aligned columns than those of DIALIGN.
