NRA: The initial anchors were computed excluding repetitive subsequences. RA: The initial anchors were computed including repetitive subsequences. C: The consistency transformation was used. NC: The consistency transformation was not used. A: An affine gap model was used. DA: A double affine gap model was used. The default program uses the settings RA/C/DA. Sensitivity is defined as the proportion of the total residue pairs in the original simulated alignment present in the generated alignment. The specificity conversely represents the proportion of the total residue pairs in the generated alignment not present in the original simulated alignment.
