The highest accuracy value within each dataset is in boldface.

aThe difference from the highest accuracy was shown to be significant (P < 0.01) by both the Wilcoxon test and the Friedman test.

bThe Wilcoxon test showed a significant difference but the Friedman test did not.

cThe improvement of score from HOM+0 was shown to be significant by both the Wilcoxon test and the Friedman test.

dThe Wilcoxon test showed a significant improvement but the Friedman test did not. See Table 1 for command-line options for each method in MAFFT. Command-line option for MUSCLE-i is muscle -maxiters 1000.
