Abstract

A program has been written in BASIC that allows DNA sequence gels to be read by a Tektronix model 4052 computer equipped with a graphics tablet. Sequences from each gel are stored on tape for later transfer to a larger computer where they are melded into a complete overall sequence. The program should be adaptable to other small computers.
