         Computer Applications in the Sequencing of Large Genomes


    The recent major advances in molecular biology have demonstrated that 
future progress in this discipline cannot occur without coordinate 
development of computer methods for data storage, data retrieval and 
analysis. We stand now on the threshold of a new age where the volume and 
density of data can be expected to increase by at least three orders of 
magnitude. In large part, how this data is managed will determine whether 
the large genome sequencing project will be worth the effort.
