Detailed Description

The alignment module contains concepts, algorithms and classes that are related to the computation of pairwise and multiple sequence alignments.

There are several types of alignments. We support pairwise alignments so far, but we also plan to support multiple alignments in the future.

SeqAn offers a generic multi-purpose alignment library comprising all widely known alignment algorithms as well as many special algorithms. These algorithms are all accessible through an easy to use alignment interface which is described in Pairwise.
