Duty: Number for Taxon (mesquite.lib.duties.NumberForTaxon)

Module Explanation

Reports the Alignment Score / Reverse Complement Alignment Score for a taxon in a data matrix. The score for each taxon is the cost of aligning that taxon's sequence against the reference taxon using Mesquite's default pairwise aligner, divided by the score for aligning the reverse complement of the sequence against the reference. Scores greater than one mean that alignment is better if one of the sequences is reverse complemented .
