Fig. 8From: Aligning the unalignable: bacteriophage whole genome alignmentsVisual comparison. Alpha and Mauve alignments of the same region of the Staph4 dataset. Numbers in red were added to show the correspondence between Alpha alignments and Mauve color blocks. All Alpha alignments are found in the Mauve alignment, but Mauve apparently detects an alignment of the four genomes that is missed by Alpha: the block labeled ‘x’. We show in the text that block x is a misalignmentBack to article page
