<div dir="ltr">For novel functionality (see the first reviewer) you could point to the new pairwise sequence aligner in Biopython. It is as fast as aligners implemented as standalone (C/C++) programs, maybe even faster if you want to align many sequences, but much more flexible. I don't know of any existing programs that offer this speed and flexibility.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Best,</div><div dir="ltr">-Michiel<br></div><div><br></div>
