Staden Package: new 1997.1 release

[Kevin McKernan]

James, Roger,


Not certain you are still at this address but I heard th e Gap
package is continuing to evolve with the next generation sequencing
instruments. We met many years ago at the Whitehead and we are now
sitting on ~ 1/2Gb of short read sequencing from the new sequ encing technology from APG.

ABI j ust bought this technology and will putting an enormous thrust
behind its development and we wanted to begin to reach out to
software developers in the space to make the data formats known and
more compatible. We have been importing the reads to G AP4 and
would like to discuss with you a few features which may make the
software more fr iendly importing 5 M exp files.


Let me know if you get this and if you are interested in seeing some
data.
