Package: pwalign
Title: Perform pairwise sequence alignments
Description: The two main functions in the package are
        pairwiseAlignment() and stringDist(). The former solves
        (Needleman-Wunsch) global alignment, (Smith-Waterman) local
        alignment, and (ends-free) overlap alignment problems. The
        latter computes the Levenshtein edit distance or pairwise
        alignment score matrix for a set of strings.
