The generation of sequencing data for the hemiascomycetous yeast random seq
uence tag project was performed using the procedures established at GENOSCO
PE, These procedures include a series of protocols for the sequencing react
ions, using infra-red labelled primers, performed on both ends of the plasm
id inserts in the same reaction tube, and their analysis on automated DNA s
equencers. They also include a package of computer programs aimed at detect
ing potential assignation errors, selecting good quality sequences and esti
mating their useful length. (C) 2000 Federation of European Biochemical Soc
