[Biojava-l] Calculating edit distance between 2 DNA Sequences

[Hannes Brandstätter-Müller]

Hi!

Is there a Class/Method in Biojava that calculates the Levenshtein
distance between two sequences? I could not find anything in the docs
at first search.

I need to compare 2 DNASequences (or Strings) and get the number of
insertions, deletions, and substitutions. Ideally, there would be an
option to abort the comparison if the number of mismatches exceeds a
certain number.
