Support Alignment of DNA sequences with C API
Opened this issue · 2 comments
I'd like to ask if it would be possible to support the alignment of DNA sequences using the C API? I would like to integrate block-aligner into an existing C/C++ tool but cannot use the exisiting C API to do alignments of DNA sequences.
Yup, this is something we will work on. I'm wondering if there is a better way to generate C bindings that is not just making multiple copies of a function to support Rust generics.
Are there any plans/progress on exposing the DNA sequence alignment in the C API? The Nuc API appears to be a subset of the AA API (no per-position scoring) and you seem to have the core alignment function macroed so it's a bit unclear what work is left other than mostly cut/paste of the non-macroed portion of the API. Was there any particular roadblock you hit or is it sufficiently straight-forward that someone much less familiar with the library could make a PR for the Nuc support?
