GCG is a comprehensive genetic sequence analysis software package, first
developed in the 1970's at the University of Wisconsin. It is, therefore,
also referred to as the Wisconsin Package. We will be using some
of the over 130 programs in the GCG package for analyzing data from nucleic acid
and protein sequences.
