    Hi Alexander<br>
    <br>
    Maybe it would be helpful if you can post your code and also even
    the sequences you are looking at, just copy/paste them into the
    email text. Then it would be possible to have a look and see whether
    it is a bug or a feature...<br>
    <br>
    By the way, what version of Biojava are you using? is it 3.1? or are
    you directly getting the latest snapshots from github?<br>
    <br>
    Cheers<br>
    <br>
    Jose<br>

      Not sure, perhaps the javadoc is misleading (it comes from a high
      level interface and the lower level implementations might do
      something slightly different). Does the alignment image look
      correct? You might want to test this with two shorter and perhaps
      quite similar sequences. Also, take a look at the SmithWaterman
      approach, which does local alignments, rather than global. Perhaps
      your two sequences are too far apart and the global alignment does
      not yield good results...

          <div dir="ltr">Hello!<br>
            I have a problem with aligning the sequences with the help
            of NiedlemanWunsch class. The problem is following: I found
            the sequences, where method "getSimilarity" got negative
            numbers, but the description said: "It returns score as a
            similarity between 0.0 and 1.0"<br>
            I looked at the output of methods "getMaxScore",
            "getMinScore" and "getScore", which are involved in
            calculations of method "getSimilarity", and I have noticed,
            that "getMinScore" and "getMaxScore" got strange numbers
            (maxScore was less than minScore or both were negative), but
            output of "getScore" seemed adequate.<br>
            I used SimpleGapPenalty and
            SubstitutionMatrixHelper.getNuc4_4() as a parameters of
            constructor of NiedlemanWunsch class. <br>
            According to rules, i can’t attach file with sequences to my
            letter. But in case it is possible, I would kindly ask you
            to explain me, how to do it correctly,and then i'll send you
            the sequences. They are too long to be send like a text in a
            letter.<br>
            <br>
            Thanks for your attention!<span lang="en"><span></span></span>
