Reciprocal Smallest Distance (RSD) is a pairwise orthology algorithm that uses global sequence alignment and maximum likelihood evolutionary distance between sequences to accurately detects orthologs between genomes.
I am just checking back to see if you know what the variable 'e' is in the RSD output. It is an estimate of evolutionary distance/divergence, but what are the units? Number of amino acid difference (this doesn't seem like it could be what it is)? A rate per 1,000 amino acids in the sequences? Something else?
