A program package, called SEQAID, to support DNA sequencing is presented. The program automatically assembles long DNA sequences from short fragments with minimal user interaction. Various tools for controlling the assembling process are also available. The main novel features of the system are that SEQAID implements several new well-behaved algorithms based on a mathematical model of the problem. It also utilizes available information on restriction fragments to detect illegitimate overlaps and to find relationships between separately assembled sequence blocks. Experiences with the system are reported including an extremely pathological real sequence which offers an interesting benchmark for this kind of programs.
本文介绍了一个名为SEQAID的支持DNA测序的程序包。该程序能以最少的用户交互自动从短片段中组装长DNA序列。还提供了各种用于控制组装过程的工具。该系统的主要新颖之处在于,SEQAID基于问题的数学模型实现了几种新的性能良好的算法。它还利用关于限制性片段的可用信息来检测非法重叠,并找到单独组装的序列块之间的关系。报告了该系统的使用经验,包括一个极其病态的真实序列,它为此类程序提供了一个有趣的基准测试。
