Phylogenetic data obtained from an alignment implying predominantly insect VFTM sequences, showed that all VKR proteins effectively formed a distinct monophyletical protein clade (about 80% of identity between VKR of insects) which is closely related to GABABR (with a 92% bootstrap score)( Fig 4A).
The time to align the homologs to the query might be reduced by using the alignments implied by the families as a starting point to search for local alignments, instead of using BLAST to realign the homologs to the query.
The structural alignment also implies a corresponding one-dimensional sequence alignment from which a sequence identity, or the percentage of residues that are identical between the input structures, can be calculated as a measure of how closely the two sequences are related.
Both of these focal mechanisms have a nodal plane that strikes NNW-SSE, which corresponds to the direction of the earthquake alignment and implies that a fault with that orientation was the source of the earthquakes.
This improves the alignment, but implies that those regions can no longer be used by PS (see also below).
Every predicted alignment gap implies at least one insertion or deletion of nucleotides has taken place in the history of the organisms under study.

This issue is illustrated as follows: for any three sequences 1, 2 and 3, the pairwise alignment of 1/2 and 2/3 implies an alignment of 1/3 that may be different from the direct alignment of 1/3.
In what follows, we study two classes of copy events and present the set of conditions based on the map locations and orientations of the paired-end alignments that imply a copy event within each of these classes.
