function [matrix, matrixInfo] = nuc44
%NUC44 returns the NUC44 nucleotide scoring matrix.
%
%   NUC44 uses ambiguous nucleotide codes, with probabilities rounded to
%   nearest integer.
%
%   Scale =  0.277316
%   Expected score = -1.7495024, Entropy = 0.5164710 bits
%   Lowest score = -4, Highest score = 5
%
%   Order:
%   A  C  G  T  R  Y  K  M  S  W  B  D  H  V  N
%
%   [MATRIX,MATRIXINFO] = NUC44 returns the structure of information about
%   the matrix with Name and Order.
