NoiseRed

The project consists of reading alignments and removing noisy columns that fall under three requirements: 1) more than 50% are indels; 2) more than half of the proteins show unique amino acid in the given column; and, 3) if no amino acid appears more than twice in the column analyzed.

The efficiency is tested by generating trees and comparing them with reference trees. Furthermore, a statistical analysis is performed to infer the suitability of the method.
