The first set of rows are comparisons of TranslatorX alignments before and after the GBlocks cleaning. The second set of rows refers to the comparison between TranslatorX and direct nucleotide alignment approaches. Average %id, Min %id and Max %id: average/minimum/maximum percentage of identity between aligned sequences; GC %: GC-content percentage; Gaps %: percentage of gaps in the multiple alignment.
