Development of a superior strategy for computer-assisted nucleotide sequence analysis.

Abstract

A new strategy for high-resolution nucleotide sequence analysis has been developed. The strategy involves an exhaustive tree-searching algorithm which examines all possible combinations of short regions of sequence alignments, followed by culling of unsuitable sequence relationships. The new algorithm can detect sequence homologies invisible to existing algorithms, and is capable of detecting all possible sequence relationships.
