    Pair-wise comparison of DNA sequences

    Hi,
    I'm hoping someone can help me with what I presume to be a simple task, but one I couldn't find a solution to myself

    I have a table of DNA sequences with two columns, like this:

    Seq1 Seq2
    AAGGTTCC GAGGTTCA
    GGTTCCAA TTAACTAC
    ...

    Now, I would like to do a pairwise comparison of these sequences and get a "similarity score" out of it...
    I.e. comparing Seq1 and Seq2 on a per-row basis, not across columns or an Seq1 to Seq2 comparison of all sequences.

    If an R package is available I would be extremely happy, but other options are of course more than welcome

    Thanks!


    EDIT
    I should mention that all sequences will be of the same length.
    The exact length is undecided, 12 at the shortest, 30 at the longest. It will depend on how results look.

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating      ...

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing      ...
