Calculating percent identity between protein or DNA sequences with a word processor.
Two macros, to calculate percentage identity between protein or DNA sequences using the Microsoft Word word processor, are described. The user prepares an alignment file of multiple sequences which is used by the macros to calculate number of matches, number of mismatches, total number of compared positions, and the percent identity. The macros are especially useful when alignment of multiple sequences is possible only by eye.
