Good afternoon,

I have a question that is often asked by researchers of our site.

Let's say that you do a pileup with a set of sequences.  How to talk 
homology with the result? Let me make that clearer. With the program gap 
you can say: in that segment of the two sequences you have xx% of 
similarity. But with pileup you do not have such a result.  You can use 
Plotsimilary to have an idea of the similarity but it is a graphical 
output.
Do you have any suggestion on that. When you publish how do you point 
out the similarity?
Thank you very much for your help.
