Inexact matches To search for inexact matches, raise the multiplier value in the form. The multiplier value is the ratio of the probability of the observed match to an exact match. A multiplier of 1.0 searches only for exact matches. Multiples of 20 will approximate increasing numbers of mismatches. The statistics are based on the amino acid composition of the protein sequences.
Lower scores are closer matches.
The program translates the DNA sequences as specified in the form to construct a protein database that is used as the target for the search.
