Alignment Sandbox

An interactive web tool for exploring the sequence alignment algorithms Smith-Waterman and Needleman-Wunsch, powered by WebAssembly.

How to use Alignment Sandbox?

You can use the hosted version at alignment.sandbox.bio.

Or, to run it locally:

npm install
npm run build

and open the index.html file in your browser.

How it works

  • To perform the sequence alignment, Alignment Sandbox runs the C tool seq-align directly in the browser using WebAssembly. For details about the compilation from C to WebAssembly, see the biowasm project.
  • Alignment Sandbox uses the aioli library to run the WebAssembly module in a WebWorker.
