FAKtory: A software environment for DNA Sequencing
We have built a prototype software environment in support of DNA
sequencing called ``FAKtory''.
The environment consists of (1) our software library, FAK II, for the
core combinatorial problem of assembling fragments, (2) a Tcl/Tk
based interface, and (3) a software suite
supporting a database of fragments and a processing pipeline that
includes clipping, tagging, and vector removal modules. A key feature
of FAKtory is that it is highly customizable: the structure of
the fragment database, the processing pipeline, and the operation
of each phase of the pipeline are specifiable by the user. Yet such
customization need only be established once at a given site,
subsequently users see a relatively simple system tailored to their needs.
