Abstract
A computer program package for the storage, change, and comparison of restriction maps is described. The programs are intended to detect overlaps between relatively short (about 10-40 kb; abbreviations ref.2) maps and to merge the overlapping fragments into large restriction maps. They run on a 16-bit-microcomputer with limited memory and addressing capability. Due to the restricted reliability of restriction maps compared with DNA sequence data a particular storage method was used. The source code of the programs is freely available (+).
