title: [An introduction of several programs used in genomic analysis].
abstract: Genomics is a novel subject that has been developed accompanying with the progress of human genome project. Genomics deals with the chemistry component, structure organization and evolution of genome at global level. As genomics associated with huge data, bioinformatics plays an important role in these processes of data production, data management and data mining. At present, many reliable programs have been used in genomic research successfully, which are usually accessible and downloaded freely. We address here the principles of some programs used wildly in genomics such as sequence alignment, sequence assembly, repeat identification and gene prediction, which are exemplified with typical programs respectively.
