| Abstract
| - With rapid reporting of DNA sequences derived from automated DNA sequencing techniques, the problemof reviewing and ordering such information has become acute. We have introduced a condensed representationof primary sequences of DNA that offers an alternative method of registering DNA. The advantage of thecondensed codes for DNA is that it not only offers fast, qualitative comparisons of DNA but also allowsquantitative comparisons of DNA from different sources. The approach is outlined for a particular humanβ globin sequence extract. Using the condensed representation of the primary DNA sequences, comparisonsare made between primary sequences for Exon 1 of human β globin and seven other β globins.
