edlib-aligner

edlib sequence alignment tool using edit distance

Description

Edlib is a lightweight and super fast C/C++ library for sequence alignment using edit distance. This package provides an aligner using this library.

Features of libedlib

* Calculates edit distance (Levehnstein distance).

* It can find optimal alignment path (instructions how to transform

first sequence into the second sequence).

* It can find just the start and/or end locations of alignment path -

can be useful when speed is more important than having exact

alignment path.

* Supports multiple alignment methods: global(NW), prefix(SHW) and

infix(HW), each of them useful for different scenarios.

* You can extend character equality definition, enabling you to e.g.

have wildcard characters, to have case insensitive alignment or to

work with degenerate nucleotides.

* It can easily handle small or very large sequences, even when finding

alignment path, while consuming very little memory.

* Super fast thanks to Myers's bit-vector algorithm.
