Transitive sequence matching expands the scope of sequence comparison by re-running the results of a given query against the databank as a new query. This sometimes results in the initial query sequence (Q) being related to a final match (M) indirectly, through a third, 'intermediate' sequence (Q --> I --> M ). This approach has often been suggested as providing greater sensitivity in sequence comparison; however, it has not yet been possible to gauge its improvement precisely.
