The SAMSON package is a tool for advanced analysis of primary DNA, RNA and protein structures. The package consists of 16 programs performing statistical analysis and comparison of biopolymer sequences, search for homologies, translation of DNA and RNA sequences into amino acid sequences, splicing of RNA sequences and restriction map construction, recognition of functionally related sites in biopolymer molecules, textual analysis of DNA and RNA regulatory sites and prediction of intermolecular hybridization sites in DNA and RNA molecules.
