Figure 1. Main application with list of sequences (top
window) text-based analysis (middle window) and graphical analysis
(bottom
window)
Three-window
view
- maximise one or view all three, making navigation easy.
Loads FASTA
format
sequences
and extracts sequences from text files.
Easy
manipulation
of sequences - removal of 'junk' text, reverse, complement, trim,
etc.
Restriction
enzyme
analysis - custom groups of enzymes, only show enzymes that cut a
certainnumber of times.
Translation
of
DNA to protein - Choice of 1-, 3- or 6-frame; can calculate mass
of selected protein.
Easy multiple
sequence alignment using interface to CLUSTALW program.
Manual
multiple
alignment - e.g. for 'tweaking' alignments.
Calculation
of
codon usage.
Automatic
contig
assembly - using interface to CAP program.
Dot-Plot
analysis
of 1 or 2 sequences.
Reads AND
WRITES
ABI chromatogram files.
Views
chromatogram,
with scalable X- and Y- axes (see figure 2), custom colours,
etc.
Easy editing
of
base calls, with a single mouse click.
Automatic
alignment
with a second chromatogram - to quickly check base calls, or assemble
contig.
Highly
configurable
printing of chromatogram - auto scaling of peak heights, line
thickness,
number of rows, etc.
