# libwfa2
Rust bindings for the wavefront algorithm (WFA2-lib,[ https://github.com/smarco/WFA2-lib](https://github.com/smarco/WFA2-lib "Link to repository")). This is inspired by the rust crate libwfa ([crate](https://crates.io/crates/libwfa "cargo crate"), [github]()).
## Example
Basic usage of the library.
```
use libwfa2::affine_wavefront::AffineWavefronts;
pub fn main() {
let aligner = AffineWavefronts::default();
// pattern means query
let pattern = b"TCTTTACTCGCGCGTTGGAGAAATACAATAGT";
// Text means reference
let text = b"TCTATACTGCGCGTTTGGAGAAATAAAATAGT";
aligner.align(pattern, text);
println!("Pattern: {}", String::from_utf8_lossy(pattern));
println!("Text: {}\n", String::from_utf8_lossy(text));
println!("Score: {}", aligner.score());
println!("Cigar: {}", String::from_utf8_lossy(aligner.cigar()));
}
```
Setting heuristics
```
use libwfa2::affine_wavefront::{AffineWavefronts, HeuristicStrategy};
pub fn main() {
println!("Example2\n");
let mut aligner = AffineWavefronts::default();
aligner.set_heuristic(&HeuristicStrategy::BandedStatic { band_min_k: -1, band_max_k: 1 });
// pattern means query
let pattern = b"TCTTTACTCGCGCGTTGGAGAAATACAATAGT";
// Text means reference
let text = b"TCTATACTGCGCGTTTGGAGAAATAAAATAGT";
let _status = aligner.align(pattern, text);
println!("Pattern: {}", String::from_utf8_lossy(pattern));
println!("Text: {}\n", String::from_utf8_lossy(text));
println!("Score: {}", aligner.score());
println!("Cigar: {}", String::from_utf8_lossy(aligner.cigar()));
}
```
