Figure 11

The distributions of the two classes of quality score for SMART version 6. Figure A depicts the quality scores alignment positions of 5 or more amino acids. It is a trimodal distribution, most likely, arising from low-quality scores from weak alignments (left peak), average-quality scores from the typical alignments (center peak) and high-quality scores from homogenous alignments (right peak). In contrast, Figure B shows mostly the low quality scores from weaker alignment positions of less than 5 valid amino acids.
