When I input DNA strands, are the "scores" the percentage of the genes that match up?

Thanks!

The scores are a measure of the similarity between the sequences. I think it is the percentage of identical bases in the alignment.

If you post a little more about your experiment - which sequences you were testing it might help us advise more.
