About this document
Significance of Random Sequences in Bioinformatics by Tanuj Dwivedi is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses random sequences and the significance of sequence alignments. It introduces the Erdos & Renyi theoretical basis for estimating the significance of an alignment given its length and score. It also discusses using an extreme value distribution rather than a Gaussian distribution to better estimate significance. It provides examples of how to calculate expectation values and significance probabilities for random sequence alignments.
