""" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith%E2%80%93Waterman_algorithm The Smith-Waterman algorithm is a dynamic programming algorithm used for sequence alignment. It is particularly useful for finding similarities between two sequences, such as DNA or protein sequences. In this implementation, gaps are penalized linearly, meaning that the score is reduced by a fixed amount for each gap introduced in the alignment. However, it's important to note that the Smith-Waterman algorithm supports other gap penalty methods as well.
