摘要
Summary: Scrambled genes are surprisingly common in some species of ciliates. Until now there was no software available to analyze automatically these genes. We present here a program that can automatically align the macronuclear and micronuclear forms of a gene, outputting the location of the macronuclear destined segments and pointer sequences.
