✦ Synopsis
The paper describes a package of APL-programs suited for the management and the analysis of DNA sequence data. Most of the application programs are related to experimental work in a DNA sequencing laboratory: Search for overlapping DNA fragments to construct complete DNA sequences; search for restriction sites; computing fragment patterns when cutting a DNA with restriction enzymes; plotting physical and genetic maps of a DNA; search for homologies as well as various counting procedures. More sophisticated programs are concerned with the prediction of RNA secondary structure and its graphical representation.

A DNA molecule can be viewed as a text written in four letters: A, T, G, and C. As we know, this text contains the genetic message of a living organism. The sequence of letters in the text cannot be very regular (otherwise it would carry very little information). To an observer who does not know the
## Abstract The article reviews some recent developments in studying DNA sequence‐dependent deformability, with emphasis on computer modeling. After a brief outline of available experimental techniques, we proceed to computational methods and focus on atomic‐resolution molecular dynamics (MD) simul
After reviewing approaches to the nucleotide correlation of DNA sequences the preferential mode analysis method is emphasized and discussed in detail. The preferred modes and poor modes in coding regions, as well as in introns, 5'-caps and 3'-tails are found through the statistical analysis of seque
