A Similarity Matrix is a type of graph comprised of multiple
squares that create the matrix. These squares are aligned in a sequence. Scores
with larger numbers are assigned to characters, which are very similar.
Characters that are dissimilar are assigned negative numbers. The overall goal
of this matrix is to express similarity between two different data points,
which are being observed.
This similarity matrix that is displayed shows the
similarity of Amino Acids at 250 PAM. I choose this map because I am interested
in genetics and amino acids.
