NAME¶
pregap4 - prepare raw data from sequencing instruments for usage with gap4 (part
of staden package)
DESCRIPTION¶
Before entry into a gap4 database the raw data from sequencing instruments needs
to be passed through several processes, such as screening for vectors, quality
evaluation, and conversion of data formats. Pregap4 is used to pass a batch of
readings through these steps in an automatic way. It provides an interface for
setting up and configuring the processing and for controlling the passage of
the readings through each stage. The separate tasks are termed
"modules" and each module is typically managed by a dedicated
program. Pregap4 wraps all of these modules into a single easy to use
environment, whilst maintaining the flexibility to select and extend the
processing modules. It is an, as yet, unpublished replacement of the program
pregap Bonfield, J.K. and Staden, R. Experiment files and their application
during large-scale sequencing projects. DNA Sequence 6, 109-117 (1996).
