It is shown that mutual similarities can be detected by sequence alignment methods only if their amount exceeds a threshold value. The onset of detection is a continuous phase transition which can be viewed as a localization-delocalization transition. The ``fidelity’’ of the alignment is the order parameter of that transition; it leads to criteria for the selection of optimal alignment parameters. | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/9511072 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
