Class Alignments

java.lang.Object
org.biojava.nbio.alignment.Alignments

public class Alignments extends Object
Static utility to easily run alignment routines. To exit cleanly after running any parallel method that mentions use of the ConcurrencyTools utility, ConcurrencyTools.shutdown() or ConcurrencyTools.shutdownAndAwaitTermination() must be called.
