This package is the R binding of the `genoaligner` C++ alignment library (https://github.com/alrobles/genoaligner), distributed under the MIT License (see LICENSE). PARTIAL DERIVATION NOTICE The edit-distance / wavefront (WFA) core is a transcription of the published WFA formulation, taken from the reference implementation that the C++ `genoaligner` library itself transcribes: github.com/smarco/WFA Copyright (c) 2017 Santiago Marco-Sola MIT License Specifically, the offset macros (WAVEFRONT_H / WAVEFRONT_V / WAVEFRONT_OFFSET_NULL), the compute-next step (wavefront_compute_edit_idm) and the traceback walk originate from that source. The MIT terms of the original apply to those portions, and its copyright notice is reproduced above.
