In the class we talked about how to calculate Levenstein distances in two cases
- Global alignment: when we want to compare all of the query to all of the subject.
- Semi-global alignment: when we want to compare all of the query to some of the subject.
In both cases we can build a matrix using the formulas we wrote in the whiteboard (and you wrote in your notebook). We also built such matrices in the Google Sheet called “class04-bioinfo-2023”.
Please build similar matrices for the comparison of

- Subject:

You can build the matrices in a spreadsheet (as we did in class) or
using a program, maybe in Python. Send me either the Excel file
(filename extension XLSX) or the Python code to
andres.aravena+bioinfo@istanbul.edu.tr
. Do not forget to
include title, author (with student number) and date. Write your student
number on the email’s subject line.
