Identifying and seeing beyond multiple sequence alignment errors using intra-molecular protein covariation.

BACKGROUND: There is currently no way to verify the quality of a multiple sequence alignment that is independent of the assumptions used to build it. Sequence alignments are typically evaluated by a number of established criteria: sequence conservation, the number of aligned residues, the frequency...
