Optimization of a Needleman Wunsch algorithm

365 views Asked by At

For some Time, I've written a Needleman Wunsch algorithm for listening to NCBI data streams, but as I've been done with it i knew it could be done better but i by far to stupid to do so. If some of you know what I've done stupid overcomplicated, I would really like to know how to do it better.

At first I want to show you the full code to let you know about the context.

        levensteinTable[0, j] = j

    for i in range(0,rowLen):       #Fill out the first column
        levensteinTable[i, 0] = i

    for i in range(1,rowLen):       #Fill out the rest of the Board in dependency of several cases
        for j in range (1,colLen):  #traversing with a nested loop
            levensteinTable[i,j]=min(  #every Levenstein Score has to be the Minimum of three cases
                (levensteinTable[i-1, j-1]+(0 if listb[j-1] == lista[i-1] else 1)), #in this part, the Delta of the two strings will be detected 
                (levensteinTable[i, j-1] +1), #The score of the left cell
                (levensteinTable[i-1, j] +1)    #The Score of the upper cell

        for j in range (1,colLen):  #traversing with a nested loop
            levensteinTable[i,j]=min(  #every Levenstein Score has to be the Minimum of three cases

I've tried to turn every for loop into a comprehension, but somehow there are things I don't know and even don't know for what kind of comprehension I need to search for.
