"""Pairwise similarity matrices for a set of genes: ESM-2 embedding cosine similarity, and protein sequence identity from a real alignment. The identity matrix used to come from a naive zip()-based position-wise comparison of the two raw (unaligned) sequences -- correct only when both proteins happen to start in frame with no indels between them. A single insertion/deletion shifts every downstream residue out of register and craters the score even for genuinely homologous proteins. This module replaces that with an actual Smith-Waterman local alignment (BLOSUM62, affine gaps) via parasail, a SIMD-accelerated (striped) alignment library -- ~26x faster than Biopython's Bio.Align.PairwiseAligner in an all-pairs benchmark (1770 pairs of length ~100-400aa: 0.12s vs 3.2s), which matters here since this is an O(n^2) all-pairs computation.
