GCG: Fragment Assembly Programs

Protocol
Part of the Methods in Molecular Biology book series (MIMB, volume 24)

Abstract

The Fragment Assembly System is a series of related programs that help you assemble overlapping fragment sequences as obtained at the lab bench. Specifically, the programs resemble a small databas system that helps you to achieve six major tasks:

  1. 1.

    Entering and storage of sequences in a project database (method 1).

     
  2. 2.

    Recognition of overlaps (method 2).

     
  3. 3.

    Manipulation of aligned fragments (this step and all following: method 3)

     
  4. 4.

    Generation and comparison of consensus sequences as determined from aligned fragments.

     
  5. 5.

    Display and archiving of aligned sequences.

     
  6. 6.

    Determination of the consensus sequence.
