Scatterplots of the Cline scores per alignment pair for the 2,218 benchmark tests of the BRAliBase dataset. A scatterplot is constructed per alignment pair for each one of the 2,218 benchmark tests. The diagonal line represents the expected plot if the initial and the reformed alignments were identical. Consequently, an accumulation of points above the diagonal line represents improved reformed alignments whereas points below the diagonal correspond to cases where ReformAlign worsened the initial alignment.
