title: A dotplot program for the Atari ST, for the analysis of DNA and protein sequences.
abstract: A program was written in GFA-BASIC for the Atari ST microcomputer aimed at drawing two-dimensional homology 'dotplot' patterns for two protein or DNA sequences. The program, built around a machine-code subroutine, communicates interactively with the user by means of a multi-button dialogue panel and mouse-directed input. A 1000 X 1000 sequence comparison with a 14:21 stringency window takes 12 s.
