Abstract:
1. A method for predicting a sequence of at least a first nucleic acid comprising the steps of: (a) identifying by a sequencing method a first plurality of subsequences from said first nucleic acid; (b) comparing by a computer program stored in a computer the first plurality of subsequences with at least a second nucleic acid sequence; (c) identifying by said computer program stored in a computer for each subsequence from said first plurality a matching subsequence within said second nucleic acid sequence, the matching subsequences occurring at a distance from each otherwithin said second nucleic acid sequence; (d) determining relative position of each of said matching subsequences within second nucleic acid sequence, said relative position of matching subsequences comprising a number indicating distance between said matching subsequences within second nucleic acid sequence; and (e) assembling, using a computer program stored in a computer, said first plurality of subsequences into a sequence assembly by simultaneously whereby the sequence assembly predicts the sequence of at least said first nucleic acid.
