Each type of evidence used by BayesFold includes one or more of the following pieces of data, represented as columns in the sequence and structure data tables. Since each of these pieces of data are associated with a given evidence, a single sequence or structure may have several different instances of each, one for each evidence that applies to that sequence or structure.

Best Index: for each structure in the structure alignment, the Best Index is the index of the sequence that has the best raw score when threaded through that structure. For each sequence in the sequence alignment, the Best Index is the index of the structure that has the best raw score when that sequence is threaded through it. For example, a given sequence might have a Mismatch Best Index of 15. This would indicate that the sequence in question produces its smallest number of mismatches (i.e., optimal Mismatch Score) when threaded through the structure whose index is 15. If more than one sequence or structure qualifies as "best", one is chosen at random.

Score: the raw number associated with a particular sequence/structure combination, which is used for probability calculations. Examples are the energy of a given sequence folded into the current structure, or the number of mismatches when the current sequence is folded into a given structure.

Average: the average of the scores for a particular evidence across all structures for the given sequence, or across all sequences for the given structure (depending on which data table is being viewed.)

Conditional Probability [Pr(D|Si)]: available ONLY for structures. This is the probability that the data represented by the evidence's score would be seen if the corresponding structure were the true one for the alignment.
