    VOR differs from VA in the set of sequences against which it's comparing
    all the sequences in the alignment. In addition to the sequences in the 
    alignment itself, it uses a set of pseudo sequences.
    
    Generating discrete random sequences: 
    A discrete random sequence is generated by choosing with equal
    likelihood at each position one of the residues observed at that position 
    in the alighment. An occurrence of once in the alignment column is 
    sufficient to make the residue type an option. Note: you're choosing 
    with equal likelihood from each of the observed residues (independent 
    of their frequency at that position). In earlier versions of the algorithm 
    the characters were chosen either at the frequency with which they occur 
    at a position or at the frequency with which they occur in the database. 
    Both trials were unsuccesful, because they deviate from random sampling 
    (see Sibbald & Argos 1990).

    Depending on the number of possible pseudo sequences, all of them are 
    used or a random sample is taken (monte carlo).

    closest sequence). I doesn't have an advantage over the original method.

    mVOR is a modification of the VOR method. Instead of generating discrete
    random sequences, it generates random profiles, to sample more equally from
    the sequence space and to prevent random sequences to be equidistant to 
    multiple sequences in the alignment. 

    See the Implementation notes to see how the random profiles are generated
    and compared to the 'sequence profiles' from the alignment.

    Random generalized sequences (or a profile filled with random numbers):
    Sequences that are equidistant to multiple sequences in the alignment
    can form a problem in small datasets. For longer sequences the likelihood
    of this event is negligable. Generating 'random generalized sequences' is 
    a solution, because we're then sampling from continuous sequence space. 
    Each column of a random profile is generated by normalizing a set of 
    independent, exponentially distributed random numbers. In other words, a 
    random profile is a two-dimensional array (rows are chars in the alphabet, 
    columns are positions in the alignment) filled with a random numbers, 
    sampled from the standard exponential distribution (lambda=1, and thus 
    the mean=1), where each column is normalized to one. These random profiles 
    are compared to the special profiles of just one sequence (ones for the 
    single character observed at that position). The distance between the 
    two profiles is simply the Euclidean distance.

    for whole sequences.

    A simple method to represent the diversity at a position is to award 
    each different residue an equal share of the weight, and then to divide 
    up that weight equally among the sequences sharing the same residue. 
    So if in a position of a MSA, r different residues are represented, 
    a residue represented in only one sequence contributes a score of 1/r to 
    that sequence, whereas a residue represented in s sequences contributes 
    a score of 1/rs to each of the s sequences. For each sequence, the 
    contributions from each position are summed to give a sequences weight.

    See Henikoff 1994 for a good example.

    where distances are the pairwise Hamming distances between the sequences 
    in the alignment. Where the VA method uses the normalized total weights 
    for each sequence, the SS method continues with calculating a 
    self-consistent set of weights.

    They do this by finding the eigenvector of the distance matrix belonging

    tree: a PhyloNode object

    The ACL method is named after Altschul, Carroll and Lipman, who published a 
    paper on sequence weighting in 1989.

    The ACL method is based on an idea of Felsenstein (1973). Imagine 
    electrical current flows from the root of the tree down the edges and 
    out the leaves. If the edge lengths are proportional to their electrical 
    resistances, current flowing out each leaf equals the leaf weight.

    The first step in the calculation of the weight vector is calculating a
    variance-covariance matrix. The variance of a leaf is proportional to the 
    distance from the root to that leaf. The covariance of two leaves is 
    proportional to the distance from the root to the last common ancestor 
    of the two leaves.

    The second step in the calculation results in a vector of weights. Suppose
    there are n leaves on the tree. Let i be the vector of size n, all of whose 
    elements are 1.0. The weight vector is calculated as:
    w = (inverse(M)*i)/(transpose(i)*inverse(M)*i)

    The GSC method is named after Gerstein, Sonnhammer, and Chothia,
    who published their method in 1994.

    The idea is that the sequences are weighted by their total branch length
    in the tree. In the original algorithm weights are calculated from leaves
    to root, we calculate them from the root to the leaves. 

    First, the branch lengths have to be clipped to a minimum and maximum 
    value to avoid errors due to negative or zero branch lengts, and to 
    make sure the method behaves for two identical sequences. Next the 
    branch sum for each node is pre-calulated (the branch sum is the 
    total branch length in the tree below that node). From the (clipped) 
    branch lengths and branch sums, we can now calulate how the weight has 
    to be divided.

    Example:
    tree = (((A:20,B:10)x:30,C:40)r:0);

    weight of the root (r) is always 1
    to the left node (x) goes ((30+30)/100)*1 = 0.6
    to the right node (C) goed (40/100)*1 = 0.4
    to node A goes (20/30)*0.6 = 0.4
    to node B goes (10/30)*0.6 = 0.2
