In the 1 April 1988 issue of Science there is an article, Computers in Molecular Biology: Current Applications and Emerging Trends (pages 47-52. It has some interesting sections on the need for computer based methods for analyzing DNA sequence data to detect genes, functional sites, intron/exon boundaries ... The computer methods discussed include statistical and AI techniques. It also has some interesting (and debatable) sections on how the flood of newly generated sequence data will outrun the capacities of present and future supercomputers. Worth looking at if this area is of interest. --henry schaffer n c state univ
