SYNOPSIS
gap5 [-ro] [-maxseq <number>] [-maxdb <number>] [-skip_notes] [,DATABASE_NAME.V/]DESCRIPTION
Gap5 is a Genome Assembly Program. The program contains all the tools that would be expected from an assembly program plus many unique features and a very easily used interface. The original version was described in Bonfield,J.K., Smith,K.F. and Staden,R. A new DNA sequence assembly program. Nucleic Acids Res. 24, 4992-4999 (1995)
Gap5 is very big and powerful. Everybody employs a subset of options and has their favourite way of accessing and using them. Although there is a lot of it, users are encouraged to go through the whole of the documentation once, just to discover what is possible, and the way that best suits their own work. At the very least, the whole of this introductory chapter should be read, as in the long run, it will save time.
