[Biopython-dev] Fwd: [raxml] Are all global alignment algorithms and implementations correct?

[Peter Cock]

Apparently Bio.pairwise2 can produce suboptimal alignments
and suffers from other constraints:

In particular it seems Flouri et al would like to allow for insertions
that are immediately followed by deletions?

Dear Users,

Please accept my apologies for slightly abusing our support groups.

I wanted to share this biorxiv preprint with you that addresses some
fundamental problems in the implementations of global pair-wise
sequence alignment algorithms:

Please spread the word, especially to those teaching Bioinformatics courses.

Thanks a lot,

Alexis
