BABAPPAlign v1.1.0
BABAPPAlign v1.1.0 is a stable research release of a neural embedding–based multiple sequence alignment engine using exact affine-gap dynamic programming (Gotoh) within a progressive MSA framework.
Highlights
Exact affine-gap DP (no heuristics)
Learned residue-level neural scoring
Profile–sequence progressive alignment
Deterministic and reproducible behavior
Benchmarking
Demonstrates statistically significant improvements in SP and TC scores over MAFFT, MUSCLE, ClustalW, and T-Coffee on BAliBASE, with strongest gains for divergent families.
Notes
This release prioritizes alignment accuracy over runtime. Neural embeddings and models are cacheable and not distributed with the repository.
