PRIME source code. This tar.gz archive includes the source files of PRIME. To compile PRIME, one can check 'INSTALL' and 'Makefile' in the archive. Although 'Makefile' basically assumes GNU make and g+ +, another compiler can be used with a few modification of 'Makefile'.

Additional File 2:

p-values of the Friedman test of full length set. Each value is p-value of the Friedman test, indicating the significance of a difference in performance between programs of a row and a column. The upper right and lower left p-values are calculated using sum-of-pairs and column scores on all alignments of the whole full length set, respectively. PRIMEpcw denotes PRIMEpiecewise, and PRIMEafn, PRIMEaffine. The respective signs + and - denote that a program of a row performs significantly better and worse than that of a column.

Additional File 3:

p-values of the Friedman test of homologous region set. Each value is p-value of the Friedman test, indicating the significance of a difference in performance between programs of a row and a column. The upper right and lower left p-values are calculated using sum-of-pairs and column scores on all alignments of the whole homologous region set, respectively. PRIMEpcw denotes PRIMEpiecewise, and PRIMEafn, PRIMEaffine. The respective signs + and - denote that a program of a row performs significantly better and worse than that of a column.
