Sequence distance metrics (skbio.sequence.distance)

This module contains functions for computing distances between scikit-bio Sequence objects. These functions can be used directly or supplied to other parts of the scikit-bio API that accept a sequence distance metric as input, such as skbio.sequence.Sequence.distance() and skbio.stats.distance.DistanceMatrix.from_iterable().

Functions

hamming(seq1, seq2)	Compute Hamming distance between two sequences.
kmer_distance(seq1, seq2, k[, overlap])	Compute the kmer distance between a pair of sequences
