      Indeed this does help a lot. Now I'm sure that the modification I

              <br>
              Now I'm back to Conservation plugin code. I've modified it
              to report the list of Conservation scores and not the
              average of all (like the original plugin). However on all
              the tests I've performed only one score is being reported.
              <br>

              You can have a look at the code right here: <a

              as a measure of conservation we display the ‘rejected
              substitution' scores (accessed via the
              $conservation_score->diff_score method in the compara
              API) calculated by GERP. <br>
              The diff_score = expected_score - observed_score. <br>
              So, the more positive the diff_score is the more resistant
              to substitutions <br>
              that column in the multiple alignment is (ie the more
              conserved it is over evolutionary time). We do not have
              p-values for the conservation scores. However, we do have
              p-values for the constrained elements generated from the
              conservation scores. <br>
              <br>
              Hope that helps, <br>

                  <br>
