title: 'pwalign: Perform pairwise sequence alignments'
version: 1.8.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.pwalign
abstract: 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.
