Why would phylogeneticists ignore computerized sequence alignment?
In phylogenetic analyses, multiple sequence alignment often seems to be the poor cousin to tree building. It has long been recognized that both primary homology assessment (alignment) and secondary homology assessment (tree building) can have important effects on phylogenetic analyses (Morrison and Ellis 1997), and this has been repeatedly demonstrated for both empirical and simulated data (see...
متن کاملWhy epidemiologists cannot afford to ignore poverty.
Epidemiologists cannot afford to ignore poverty. To do so would, first, wrongly obscure the devastating impact of poverty on population health, and, second, undercut our commitment to scientific rigor. At issue is doing correct science, not "politically correct" science. Blot poverty and inequity from view, and not only will we contribute to making suffering invisible but our understanding of d...
متن کاملWhy Does Gravity Ignore the Vacuum Energy?
The equations of motion for matter fields are invariant under the shift of the matter lagrangian by a constant. Such a shift changes the energy momentum tensor of matter by T a b → T a b + ρδ a b . In the conventional approach, gravity breaks this symmetry and the gravitational field equations are not invariant under such a shift of the energy momentum tensor. I argue that until this symmetry i...
متن کاملWhy Would You Trust B ?
The use of formal methods provides confidence in the correctness of developments. Yet one may argue about the actual level of confidence obtained when the method itself – or its implementation – is not formally checked. We address this question for the B, a widely used formal method that allows for the derivation of correct programs from specifications. Through a deep embedding of the B logic i...
متن کاملMultiple Sequence Alignment Multiple Sequence Alignment
An algorithm for progressive multiple alignment of sequences with insertions " , 1. Introduction The problem of sequence alignment is to find the patterns of sequence conservation and similarity between pairs or sets of given sequences. In biological contexts, similarity between biological sequences usually amounts to either functional or structural similarities or divergence from a common ance...
