DNAssist: the integrated editing and analysis of molecular biology sequences in Windows. Created by Miller Cy Chan DNAssist provides an intuitive, single interface within which sequence files are displayed, edited and analyzed. The user can customize the display in editor windows by selecting the font, font size, and line length. A sequence is analyzed by simply bringing an editor window to the top, and selecting the required analysis from the menu. All analyses can also be performed on a selected region of the sequence in an editor window. Right clicking the mouse will provide a context-sensitive popup menu. This gives the user a convenient shortcut to most menu items. The analyses available on DNAssist include:The conversion of a DNA sequence between the circular and linear formsThe conversion of DNA to a RNA or a protein sequenceThe conversion of RNA to a DNA or a protein sequenceTranslating a DNA sequence to the amino acid sequence in one, three or all six framesLocating open reading frames (ORFs) in a DNA sequenceLocating specific sequence patterns in a sequence (this allows wildcards, mismatches and gaps)Performing a restriction enzyme analysis with a defined set of enzymesPerforming a DNA promoter analysis with specified transcription factorsLocating strong nucleosome positioning signals in DNAPerforming multiple alignments of DNA, RNA or proteinsObtaining the molecular weight of a nucleic acid or proteinObtaining the melting temperature of an oligonucleotideCalculating the pI of a proteinCalculating the hydrophilic, hydrophobic or antigenic profile of a proteinObtaining the molar absorption coefficient and E0.1% of a nucleic acid or a proteinObtaining the nucleotide or amino acid composition of a nucleic acid or proteinDNAssist brings all these features together into one tightly integrated Windows application.The result of an analysis is displayed in a result window and can be printed.
