Abstract
The insertion–deletion model developed by Thorne, Kishino and Felsenstein (1991, J. Mol. Evol., 33, 114–124; the TKF91 model) provides a statistical framework of two sequences. The statistical alignment of a set of sequences related by a star tree is a generalization of this model. The known algorithm computes the probability of a set of such sequences in O( l 2 k ) time, where l is the geometric mean of the sequence lengths and k is the number of sequences. An improved algorithm is presented whose running time is only O(2 2 k l k ).
