Align two sequences with global (Needleman-Wunsch) or local (Smith-Waterman) alignment and watch the dynamic-programming table fill step by step, with the traceback path lighting up the final alignment. Use DNA scoring or real BLOSUM62, set affine gap penalties, and step through all equally good alignments instead of just the first. The tool re-scores every alignment it returns to check it against the table, and three depth levels run from the idea of lining sequences up to the full recurrences.
