Smith-Waterman local alignment of sequences
water uses the Smith-Waterman algorithm (modified for speed enhancments) to calculate the local alignment of a sequence to one or more other sequences. The gap insertion penalty, gap extension penalty and substitution matrix used to calculate the alignments are specified. The output is a standard EMBOSS alignment file.
