org.biojava.nbio.core.sequence.MultipleSequenceAlignment<S,C>

All Implemented Interfaces:

LightweightProfile<S,C>

public class MultipleSequenceAlignment<S extends Sequence<C>,C extends Compound>
extends Object
implements LightweightProfile<S,C>

Implements a minimal data structure for reading and writing a sequence alignment. The full Profile data structure in the alignment module provides additional functionality.
