Who suggested that the global alignment scores between unrelated protein sequences followed the extreme value distribution, similar to local alignment scores? And when? Correct Answer Abagyan and Batalov, in 1997

Abagyan and Batalov, in 1997, suggested the above observation. However, since the scoring system that they used favored local alignments, these alignments they produced may not be global but local. Unfortunately, there is no equivalent theory on which to base an analysis of global alignment scores as there is for local alignment scores.
