Line 9:
* What about external links section? I now the article is full of external links (see above), but there must be some links writing about MSA.
Anyway, absolutely great article, I'm not an expert in that topic, but I could easily read it. Congrat! [[User:NCurse|NCurse]] <sub> [[User talk:NCurse|work]]</sub> 07:03, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
: Thanks. I'm glad it's readable by a knowledgeable non-expert; bioinformatics can be very difficult to explain well. I agree that not all the external links are written/segued into very well, but integrating them into the text was a (semi-)conscious decision also followed in the parent [[sequence alignment]] and the (siblings, I guess?) [[structural alignment]] and [[computational phylogenetics]]. I figure that many readers are probably looking for a way to actually perform a sequence alignment, and if they find a method they like, it's much easier to have the external link in the relevant paragraph than at the bottom of the article. Tracking down the current download page/web portal from the original paper can also be a challenge, since these things change hosting/get absorbed by larger projects/follow a postdoc when he sets up his own lab/etc. On rereading I do notice a couple of programs that have an external link but no literature reference, so I'll clean that up.
: The PRPP statement belongs to ref #9, which appears in the immediately preceding sentence as well. I added a second note - do you think that looks redundant? I'll look for useful links tomorrow - there's lots of them but the signal-to-noise ratio is not so great. [[User:Opabinia regalis|Opabinia regalis]] 07:57, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
