NW align在生物信息学中的应用

NW-align is simple and robust alignment program for protein sequence-to-sequence alignments based on the standard Needleman-Wunsch dynamic programming algorithm. The mutation matrix is from BLOSUM62 with gap openning penalty=-11 and gap extension penalty=-1. The source code of this program can be downloaded at the bottom of this page, which can be easily modified for different purposes. A Java code using the standard Smith-Waterman algorithm for local sequence alignment was recently added in the page as well.
