O(N2) Thermodynamic alignment Define a “reduced” pair-wise free energy function, whose exact O(N2) minimum energy alignment approximates the minimum energy alignment of the near neighbor free energy function, Determine free parameters by simulated annealing-based minimization of evaluated at the alignments produced by Aligned bases Gap regions Temperature
