The method of alignment calculation % Alignments significantly improved Average number of alignments Maximum number of alignments Minimum number of alignments
Parametric method 34 49 (34) 138 1
Iterative method 35 275 (130) 469 25
Hybrid method 48 733 (300) 2210 131

Only the results for the moderate similarity range (FFAS z-score 14–7) are shown. Values of variance are given in parentheses.
