Program SPS scores after inclusion of sequences without validated motifs. Box plots of the SPS scores obtained by the different alignment programs under different conditions, showing the extreme observations (stars or circles), lower quartile, median, upper quartile, and largest observation. Significant differences, according to a Wilcoxon signed ranks test (p < 0.05), are indicated by an asterix on the x-axis. P-values for the Wilcoxon tests are available in additional file 1, table 3. a) SPS scores for alignments of sequences with validated motifs only compared to alignments including sequences with errors. b) SPS scores for alignments of sequences with validated motifs only compared to alignments including sequences containing false positive (FP) motifs. c) SPS scores for alignments of sequences with validated motifs only compared to alignments including sequences that do not contain any examples of the motif.
