Description: Family
Pairwise Search (FPS) is a method for scoring a single
biological sequence against a family of sequences. FPS
compares pairs of sequences and then combines the pairwise
scores into an overall score for the match of the single
sequence to the family of sequences.
FPS operates in two modes. In the single-sequence mode,
FPS compares a single query sequence to a library of
sequence families. The query consists of a single sequence,
and the target library consists of families of sequences.
The result is a family classification for the query
sequence. In family-query mode, FPS compares a query
set of related sequences to a database of single sequences.
In this mode, FPS outputs a set of sequences from the
database that are related to the query family.
