This repo will hold tools I build for my wife to aid in her bioinformatics work. There are in all likelihood (absolute certainty) better programs out there for conducting this work.
The dnaAlign.js can be run in the command line as follows:
$ npm install
--Installation Info--
$ node dnaAlign.js firstDNAString secondDNAString
The firstDNAString will be treated as the reference and the secondDNAString as the comparison.
The start of the alignment is marked with < and the end with >.
A red - marks a letter that was missing (a deletion) in the comparison string. A ! before a red letter denotes the letter is an addition to the reference (an insertion).
Example call: (output is colorized in the terminal)
