The Sequence Alignment Project offers a user-friendly tool for aligning biological sequences using the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm. This bioinformatics technique helps researchers compare DNA, RNA, or protein sequences, identifying similarities and differences.
C++
The Needleman-Wunsch algorithm is employed for global sequence alignment. It operates by creating a penalty matrix to assess the cost of aligning each pair of characters in the input sequences. The traceback matrix is then used to backtrack and determine the optimal alignment.
