| ARIADNE is a package of two programs, ariadne and prospero, that |
| compare protein sequences and profiles using the Smith-Waterman |
| algorithm, and assesses statistical significance using a new accurate |
| formula, described in Mott, 2000, "Accurate Formula for P-values of |
| gapped local sequence and profile alignments" J. Mol Biol. 300:649-659. |
| The sequence/profile comparison algorithms used in ARIADNE are |
| standard, and are probably not the fastest implementations available. |
| The novel part is the method for determining statistical significance, |
| which will give thresholds of significance that are accurate to within |
| 5% 95% of the time. |
