Abstract: The rapid expansion of DNA (and protein) sequence technologies has generated enormous
quantities of data. Efficient analysis of these data requires advanced computer programs. This book
is part of a two-volume handbook and contains highly detailed, practical guidelines for using
computers to accomplish this analysis. The bulk of the text is taken by chapters examining three
powerful programs, one for mainframes, and two for Apple Macintosh microcomputers. These
programs are, respectively, Staden, and DNA Strider and MacVector. Practices and protocols are
presented with sufficient detail, often in a step-wise format, to enable the user to analyze sequence
data on the first attempt. Other chapters, common to both volumes, provide an introduction and
examine the use of FASTA in searches, conversion between sequence formats, acquisition of software
via INTERNET, and submission of sequence data to international data banks. The text is illustrated
and indexed.
