Perform global alignment of two DNA sequences using Needleman-Wunsch algorithm
Global alignment of DNA sequences using the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm, which aligns the entire length of both sequences from start to finish. This method is particularly useful for comparing sequences of similar length and understanding their evolutionary relationship.
Identity (%)
Percentage of bases that match exactly. Higher values indicate greater sequence similarity.
Alignment Score
Total score calculated based on matches, mismatches, and gaps. Higher scores indicate better alignment quality.
Mismatches
Positions where bases differ, indicating point mutations or sequence variations.
Gaps
Inserted or deleted bases representing indel mutations.
Accepts FASTA or raw sequence format:
