    Abstract:
    An algorithm for reconstructing long DNA sequences, i.e. arranging all overlapping gel readings in the contigs, and the corresponding BASIC programme for personal computer "Iskra-226" (USSR) are described. The contig construction begins with the search for all fragments overlapping the basic (longest) one follower by determination of coordinates of 5' ends of the overlapping fragments. Then the gel reading with minimal 5' end coordinate and the gel reading with maximal 3' end coordinate are selected and used as basic ones at the next assembly steps. The procedure is finished when no gel reading overlapping the basic one can be found. All gel readings entered the contig are ignored at the next steps of the assembly. Finally, one or several contigs consisted of DNA fragments are obtained. Effectiveness of the algorithm was tested on a model based on the multiple assembly of the nucleotide sequence, encoding the Na, K-ATPase alpha-subunit of pig kidney. The programme does not call for user's participation and can comprise contigs up to 10,000 nucleotides long.
