Unlike the commonly used methods for aligning a pair of sequences, the Bayesian method _______ using a particular scoring matrix or designated gap penalties.

Zhu (1998) have devised a computer program called the Bayes block aligner which in effect slides ____ sequences along each other to find the ______ ungapped regions or blocks.

Another difficulty in Bayesian methods is deciding on the length of sequence that was duplicated.

In Bayesian methods, difficulty with making estimations is that the estimate depends on the following Assumption. (Assumption – The mutation rate in sequences has been constant with time and that the rate of mutation of all nucleotides is the same.)

In a type of probability, analysis is to calculate the odds score for one event OR a second event, or of a series of events. In this case, the odds scores are _______

If the purpose is to calculate the probability of one event AND a second event, the odds scores for the events are _________

With the application of Bayesian methods, the most probable repeat length and evolutionary time since the repeat was formed may be derived.

By whom and when were the Bayesian methods applied first?
