Before revision:  Here, we present DCAlign, an efficient approach based on an approximate message-passing strategy, which is able to overcome the limitations of profile models, to include general second-order interactions among positions and to be therefore universally applicable to protein- and RNA-sequence alignment  .
After revision:  Here, we present DCAlign, an efficient approach based on an approximate message-passing strategy, which is able to overcome the limitations of profile models, to include coevolution among positions in a general way, and to be therefore universally applicable to protein- and RNA-sequence alignment .
