Versalign is a naive alignment tool for lists of arbitrary objects. Versalign is able to perform pairwise sequence alignments and star-based multiple sequence alignments, based on custom scoring functions. Versalign is primarily designed to align short-ish sequences.

Versalign is a Python library and has no command line interface.

Pairwise alignments, which is the core of this library, is built around Biopython's PairwiseAligner class.
