We present here a collection of DNA sequence analysis programs, called "PC Sequence" (PCS), which are designed to run on the IBM Personal Computer (PC). These programs are written in IBM PC compiled BASIC and take full advantage of the IBM PC's speed, error handling, and graphics capabilities. For a modest initial expense in hardware any laboratory can use these programs to quickly perform computer analysis on DNA sequences. They are written with the novice user in mind and require very little training or previous experience with computers. Also provided are a text editing program for creating and modifying DNA sequence files and a communications program which enables the PC to communicate with and collect information from mainframe computers and DNA sequence databases.
我们在此展示一组名为“PC序列”(PCS)的DNA序列分析程序,该程序旨在运行于IBM个人计算机(PC)上。这些程序用IBM PC编译BASIC语言编写,充分利用了IBM PC的速度、错误处理及图形功能。只需在硬件方面投入适度的初始费用,任何实验室都可使用这些程序对DNA序列快速进行计算机分析。编写这些程序时考虑到了新手用户,几乎无需培训或计算机使用经验。此外还提供了一个用于创建和修改DNA序列文件的文本编辑程序,以及一个使PC能够与大型计算机和DNA序列数据库通信并收集信息的通信程序。
