PICS-Ord: unlimited coding of ambiguous regions by pairwise identity and cost scores ordination

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>We present a novel method to encode ambiguously aligned regions in fixed multiple sequence alignments by 'Pairwise Identity and Cost Scores Ordination' (PICS-Ord). The method works via ordination of sequence identity or cos...
