Description of the 16/18S rRNA seqs Hypercard stack, by JWBrown -------------------------------------------------------------- 16/18S rRNA seqs ("16/18S") is a Hypercard stack for the Apple Macintosh series microcomputer. The stack is designed for use by scientists (molecular biologists in particular) for the storage & retrieval of non-aligned small subunit ribosomal RNA sequences. The current version of 16/18S comes with 228 16/18S rRNA sequences from all three phylogenetic Kingdoms. rRNA sequences are accessed through a series of linked phylogenetic trees; clicking at any terminal node of a tree will either take you one level higher (or lower) in the overall tree, or will present a menu of choices of rRNA sequences from the phylogenetic group represented by that node. 16/18S will run on any Macintosh computer that can run Hypercard. Hypercard 1.1 (or later) required. Contact address : James W.
