Sequence-Alignment

Traditional and Efficient Implementation of the Sequence Alignment Problem

Traditional Approach- Dynamic Programming (sub.py) Efficient Approach- Divide and Conquer Plus Dynamic Programming (ef.py)

The program takes as input:

1. 2 strings that need to be aligned, should be generated from the string generator mentioned above.
2. Gap penalty (δe).
3. Mismatch penalty (αpq)

Output

Both the files output an "output.txt" file containing the following information:

1. The first 50 elements and the last 50 elements of the actual alignment.
2. The time it took to complete the entire solution.
3. Memory required

Execution

run the commands:

python3 sub.py

python3 ef.py
