Applications and statistics for multiple high-scoring segments in molecular sequences.
Open accessAbstract
Score-based measures of molecular-sequence features provide versatile aids for the study of proteins and DNA. They are used by many sequence data base search programs, as well as for identifying distinctive properties of single sequences. For any such measure, it is important to know what can be expected to occur purely by chance. The statistical distribution of high-scoring segments has been described elsewhere. However, molecular sequences will frequently yield several high-scoring segments for which some combined assessment is in order. This paper describes the statistical distribution for the sum of the scores of multiple high-scoring segments and illustrates its application to the identification of possible transmembrane segments and the evaluation of sequence similarity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
