Files for Consensus Program

This page provides access to the files associated with the paper "A major component approach to presenting consensus sequences" by D.K.Smith and H.Xue, Bioinformatics 14:151-156, 1998.

Files available are:

• Source code (C, Postscript)
• Documentation (HTML, Postsript, Wordperfect)
• Parameter files
• Examples (Alignment, Percentage Matrix, Parameter File and Postscript)

The programs are available subject to the recognition of copyright, that they are provided "as is" with the user accepting any risk involved in their execution and that work published using them will cite the paper in Bioinformatics listed above.

• consen.c - C source code for consensus program
• conshead.ps - PostScript header file
• conshead.txt - without the %! so it won't launch your postscript viewer
• simppc.c - A simple program to generate percentage matrices
• Note: set save to file for these!
• DOS executable of consensus program
• DOS executable of percentage matrix generator

• listing of file names (readme)
• in HTML
