Problem

Sequence alignment is difficult to inspect when the algorithm remains invisible to the learner.

Role & team

Group 5 contributor on an academic bioinformatics project.

Constraints

Preserve the global-alignment workflow while making validation, scoring, traceback, and similarity observable.

Key decisions

Built an interaction model around FASTA-aware input, scoring-matrix inspection, traceback, identity analysis, and hotspot mapping.

Architecture

SwiftUI client with a Needleman–Wunsch dynamic-programming engine.

Result

Delivered an explainable global-alignment learning workflow.
