Abstract

The package of programs GenBee intended to analyze nucleotide and amino acid sequences is described. This package combines high-level algorithms (including original: ones) suitable for advanced theoretical studies with flexibility and user-friendly service: typical of commercially available packages. The package is designed for IBM-compatible personal computers. Accordingly it will be useful both for researches and students with, practically no background in computer methods, and for theoreticians.
