A Dna Sequence Analysis Program For The Apple Macintosh, Robert H. Gross

Dartmouth Scholarship

This paper describes a new set of programs ^* for analyzing DNA sequences using the Apple Macintosh computer, a computer ideally suited for this kind of analysis. Because of the Macintosh interface and the availability of high quality software-only speech synthesis, these programs are truly easy to use. Instead of typing in commands, the user directs the program by making selections with the mouse, thereby eliminating most typographical and syntax errors. Output options are selected by “pressing buttons” and then clicking “OK” with the mouse. DNA sequences are confirmed by having the program speak them. The high resolution graphics on …
