Insertion/Deletion Similarity Index

[ewright at FOX.NSTN.NS.CA]

Does anyone know of an amino acid insertion/deletion "similarity index" in
the same sense that we have a similarity index for amino acid
substitutions; in other words, an index rating the effect of inserting/
deleting any given amino acid from a sequence?
