The Pairwise alignment is a method of two any sizes sequences. The most relevant Pairwise aligning programs are ACANA, LASTZ, Ngila, and Dialign. These programs are the most efficient and accuracy sequences alignment programs related to the overall and constraint sensitive, and the running time.  The purpose of this research was performed an analysis of these programs to determine the efficient and accuracy; to perform this comparison the programs where tested in performance, sensitive and spend time using as input different length of sequences selected in a range from 40 to 1000 characters. Each experiment was run 50 times in a common desktop computer with an I3 dual core processor. As result ACANA appears to be one of the faster and more consistent sequences alignment program.
