TY - JOUR AU1 - Morgenstern, B AU2 - Atchley, W R AU3 - Hahn, K AU4 - Dress, A AB - In this paper, we discuss a novel scoring scheme for sequence alignments. The score of an alignment is defined as the sum of so-called weights of aligned segment pairs. A simple modification of the weight function used by the original version of the DIALIGN alignment program turns out to have a crucial advantage: it can be applied to both, global and local alignment problems without the need to specify a threshold parameter.
