LEGACY: AutoCSA (Automatic Comparative Sequence Analysis) is a mutation detection program designed to detect small mutations (1-50 bases) in capillary sequence traces. The software is capable of detecting both homozygous and heterozygous base substitutions, as well as small insertions and deletions, to a high sensitivity.
Damerau–Levenshtein distance is a string metric for measuring the edit distance between two sequences. Informally, the Damerau–Levenshtein distance between two words is the minimum number of operations (consisting of insertions, deletions or substitutions of a single character, or transposition of two adjacent characters) required to change one word into the other.
