The programs part of the Staden package provide a fully developed set
of DNA sequence assembly, editing, analysis and more.

Some of its features include:
GAP4 - Performs assembly, contig joining, assembly checking, repeat search,
       experiment suggestion, read pair analysis and contig editing.
GAP5 - The new development version of Gap4, designed to work with the large
       volumes of data attainable through the newer sequencing technologies.
PREGAP4 - Provides a graphical user interface to set up the processing 
          required to prepare trace data for assembly or analysis. 
SPIN - Compares pairs of sequences in many ways, often presenting its results
       graphically and has a sliding sequence window linked to the plots.
TREV - A rapid and flexible viewer and editor for ABI, ALF or SCF trace files.

"References" file in the documentation.

This requires io_lib and tklib.

Notes:
1) You should run the SlackBuild in real root environment (su -)!
2) Make sure you have Emacs and Tetex installed, as they are needed
   to generate the documentation.
3) Slackware's TCL and TK sources are expected to be in /tmp at build
   time. The SlackBuild will unpack them in the build directory and
   create the necessary symlinks in /tmp. You can safely delete the
   symlinks when the build is complete.
