A collection of tools for sequence processing, assembly, editing and analysis.
It is probably best known for Gap4 - a widely used tool for "finishing" sequencing projects. More recently Gap5 has been produced to handle the larger volumes of data that come from modern sequencing instruments. Both are supported for now, until Gap5 matures and acquires more features out of Gap4.
The Spin program performs DNA and protein sequence analysis, replacing the older sip, nip and pip programs from earlier Staden Package releases. Spin also provides a graphical interface to the EMBOSS package. Unfortunately spin is largely unsupported now (please contact us if you have free time).
