Description

"PRRN is a multiple sequence alignment program by doubly nested randomized iterative method. PRRN accepts either nucleotide or protein sequences. PRRN repeatedly uses pairwise group-to-group alignment to improve the overall weighted sum-of-pairs score at each iterative step, where the pair weights are introduced to correct for uneven representations of the sequences to be aligned. The strategies of PRRN work most effectively for refining a crude alignment obtained by other more rapid methods, e.g. progressive alignment. (Summarized from the original site)"
