CTE Alignment - Efficient Sequence Alignment with Side Constraints by Cluster Tree Elimination


Synopsis


This prototypic program is an implementation of the approach described in the research paper:

Efficient Sequence Alignment with Side-Constraints by Cluster Tree Elimination

by Sebastian Will, Anke Busch, and Rolf Backofen, accepted by Constraints Journal, 2007.

It implements the inference-based constraint solving technique Cluster Tree Elimination for solving sequence alignment with side constraints.

CTE-Alignment is written by Sebastian Will, Copyright 2006-2007. It is released under GPL.
