Additional comments A version of MAXSEGS exists which distributes the computation between the Cray YMP and the Connection Machine. MAXSEGS uses the algorithm of Michael Waterman and Mark Eggert, Journal of Molecular Biology, (1987), Volume 197, pages 723:728. MAXSEGS accepts input in a wide variety of formats, including NBRF-PIR, EMBL and GENBANK.
