Global and Local Alignment Algorithms with User Interface

Through this project, I implemented the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm for global alignment and Smith-Waterman algorithm for local alignment. To facilitate ease of use and efficiency, I also created a user interface for computing both global and local alignment algorithms using React, HTML, and CSS for the frontend and JavaScript for the backend.

The code for the alignment algorithms is located in src/alignment.js.

The application is hosted on GitHub pages at https://cherhchen.github.io/dna-alignment.
