If the selected window size is too long, sensitivity of the alignment is lost.(a) True(b) FalseI got this question in an online quiz.I want to ask this question from Methods in portion Pairwise Sequence Alignment of Bioinformatics

Answer»

The correct ANSWER is (a) True

Easy explanation: Dots are only placed when a stretch of RESIDUES equal to the window SIZE from one sequence matches completely with a stretch of another sequence. This method has been shown to be EFFECTIVE in reducing the noise level. The window is also called a tuple, the size of which can be manipulated so that a clear PATTERN of sequence match can be plotted. However, if the selected window size is too long, sensitivity of the alignment is lost.
