Watching one of my labmates painstakingly move two index fingers across two printed pages scanning letter by letter for a single point mutation in a nucleotide sequence motivated me to produce this very simple software. It’s 100% Javascript and runs client side.

It basically does what he did… scans two strings (contrast: not sequences) letter by letter, looking for single point mutations.

No alignments are done, and nothing more sophisticated. Just … single … point … mutations … only.
