A program is described which aligns pairs of linear restriction site maps using an algorithm which maximizes the number of coincident sites through the addition of extra padding fragments; and makes maps of the non-conserved sites between pairs and triplets of input maps. A range of display facilities, hardcopy functions and database management routines are also included. The program runs on a stand-alone microcomputer, and is stored along with a database of several hundred files on a single floppy disc.
