0001756: What is the algorithm used to calculate conservation
Could the website please be updated with information explaining what algorithm is used in the 'Sequence Data Explorer' to identify and highlight conserved regions in a protein multiple sequence alignment?

Hi Clair,

I am writing in response to your question regarding the MEGA software. There is no algorithm that is used to highlight conserved sites in the Sequence Data Explorer. A given site is either conserved (constant) or it is not.
