Zusammenfassung:Computational sequencing of nucleic acid and amino acid sequences is placing increasing demands on computer resources. The use of prime numbers is explored as a convenient means of improving program speed and reducing storage requirements. It is concluded that the application of the prime number approach leads to significant increases in speed and some reduction in storage requirements.
