4 years ago Hi Ognjen! No, I am afraid it is not possible, as you correctly assumed. Edlib gets its speed from Myers algorithm, which uses the property of edit distance, which is that mismatches and indels are penalized with the same value. So Edlib works only for edit distance! We could try to expand it with different algorithms, but that would mean creating a tool that supports different types of alignments and multiple implementations in the background, which is what we don't want to do, we want to keep Edlib simple in the sense that it does edit distance very well (edlib = Edit Distance LIBrary).

Hi! Is there any way in the current implementation to set the penalties for mismatches and insertions/deletions? If not, is this even possible with edlibs awesome speed (is that where it saves on computation), or is this a possible feature?
Thanks!
