Abstract
A display system for use on a digital computer is specifically designed to display information about nucleotide sequences, such as DNA sequences and the protein or amino acid sequences associated with those nucleotide sequences. The system uses a specially adapted font which includes special three letter characters representing the amino acids. The letters in the special characters are kerned for compact presentation. The use of such three letter characters, created to be of a width three times that of the remaining monospace characters in the font, allows amino acid sequences to be stored and presented with the corresponding nucleotide sequences in such a fashion that they are properly aligned and also usually legible.
