PAM or BLOSUM? - (Dec/19/2005 )
Hi, I'm inexpert in bioinformatics and I need to make a multiple alignment of aminoacidic sequences.
I use ClustalX 1.81 but I don't know if is better to use PAM matrix or BLOSUM matrix.
Can anyone help me?
And also I'd like to know how the Gonnet matrix works.... Thank you in anticipate
