Table 1 Monte Carlo operations

From: Accurate statistics for local sequence alignment with position-dependent scoring by rare-event sampling

operation

resulting sequence

substitution of D at position 5

LGQIDTAE

insertion of D at position 5 with left shift

GQIWDTAE

insertion of D at position 5 with right shift

LGQIDWTA

deletion at position 5 with left shift

LGQITAED

deletion at position 5 with right shift

DLGQITAE

  1. Valid Monte Carlo operations for input sequence s = LGQIWTAE (indexing starts with 1). In order to obtain sequences of the same length as s, in the case of a deletion a character (D) to be appended at the border has to be specified.
