✦ Synopsis

One hundred hypothetical polynucleotides of varying chain length and composition and of random sequence were generated and their chemical degradation simulated by a computer. Included in the study were 20 hypothetical polymers with the composition and chain length of a transfer RNA. A second computer program attempted to reconstruct the sequences from the nucleotide composition and the simulated fragments produced. Approximately 700 reconstructions were attempted from various sets of fragments generated from the 100 polymers. The dependence of the probability of reconstructing the original sequences on the methods of producing and isolating the fragments was studied.

The availability of a large nur~tber of tRNA sequences has created a need for computer programs to store the data. A program written in FORTRAN language allows one to store tRNA sequences and to retrieve information. The data are stored in such a way that it allows a direct comparison of various tRN
