An online Dynamic Programming matrix viewer

I decided to create a single page application that generates and displays the Dynamic Programming matrix of two given strings. This is for any bioinformatician or computer scientist who needs a quick and easy DP tool they can use online and be able to view the matrix that is output: DPMatrix.

It supports different algorithms - Pattern matching, Global Alignment (e.g. Needleman-Wunsch) and Local Alignment (e.g. Smith-Waterman). And it supports two DP models - Edit distance and Hamming distance. And it allows you to enter different penalty values.
