IMPORTANTE Global and Semi-Global Alignments: The Needleman-Wunsch Algorithm preferes the global alignment, but we can change it to make it return the optimal solution for local alignment:
NOTE: How the two alignments are extreamly different.
We can add two new rules that states
- The orizontal steps at the last row do not add a malus to the score
- Both rows and columns are initialized at
With these rules we are basicly removing the malus given to initial and final gaps.
