Doing sequence analysis with your printer
Department of Genetics, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine Philadelphia, PA 191046145, USA
The software package RSVP (Rapid Sequence Visualization in PostScript) has a suite of visually oriented sequence analysis routines implemented entirely in the page description language PostScript, a widely used standard that is built into many printers. RSVP is thus a relatively platform-independent tool for providing a quick look at sequence data, using form and color to help point out patterns, in advance of more sophisticated sequence analyses.
