Some results

Some tests were performed on Balibase 2.0 database of benchmarks. There are two versions of MALINBA:

  • MALINBA: basic implementation using UPGMA to build a guide-tree with BLOSUM75, gap opening penalty of -11 and gap extension penalty of -1.1
  • MALINBAOT: basic implementation using Opal's guide-tree with BLOSUM75, gap opening penalty of -12.9 and gap extension penalty of -1.1
