NeedlemanWunsch

MOVED TO GITHUB: https://github.com/noporpoise/seq-align

Global optimal sequence alignment using the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm.

Aligns DNA, RNA, protein sequence and more!

See our sister project local alignment using Smith-Waterman:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/smithwaterman/

Features

Affine gap penalties
Can set no gap penalty for gaps at the beginning and end of alignments
Coloured ouput
Reads FASTA, FASTQ and plain sequence files (inc. gzip'ed files)
Preset DNA/Protein substitution matrices (PAM/BLOSUM etc)
Can load substitution penalty matrices
Portable C code that can be used in other bioinformatics projects
