Abstract
We develop a statistical theory of probabilistic sequence alignments derived from a 'thermodynamic' partition function at finite temperature. Such alignments are a generalization of those obtained from information-theoretic approaches. Finite-temperature statistics can be used to characterize the significance of an alignment and the reliability of its single element pairs.Mesh:
