Software library with applications in virology and molecular biology

A menu-driven interactive package of computer programs has been developed to help in calculations commonly required in laboratories using virological and molecular biological techniques. Two of the programs use two of the most accurate methods available for determining viral titers, several programs were designed to optimize experimental parameters and others help in the analysis of recombinant DNA data. All of the programs use specially developed original algorithms which in some cases are based also on equations originally derived. The programs were written in Microsoft BASIC using mostly hardware independent commands and functions and should run without major modifications in most microcomputers with BASIC interpreters or compilers. The programs are menu-driven and fully interactive.
