Allpaths-LG

Allpaths-LG is a computer program used by scientists to assemble complete genomes from many small DNA pieces. It analyzes the overlaps among these fragments to reconstruct the original DNA sequence of an organism. This method helps researchers understand genetic information by accurately piecing together complex DNA data, especially useful for large or complex genomes like those of plants or humans. Essentially, it acts as a sophisticated puzzle solver, assembling the genome from numerous tiny fragments to provide a comprehensive genetic blueprint.
