Features

DNADynamo is a general purpose DNA and Protein sequence analysis package that can carry out most of the functions required by a standard research molecular biology laboratory

  • DNA and Protein Sequence viewing, editing and annotating
  • Contig assembly and chromatogram editing including comparison to a reference sequence to identify mutations
  • Global Sequence alignment with ClustalW and MUSCLE and editing.
  • Select and drag Sequence alignment editing for hand made dna vs protein alignments
  • Restriction site analysis - for viewing restriction cut sites in tables and on linear and circular maps.
  • A Subcloning tool for the assembly of constructs using Restriction Sites or Gibson assembly,
  • Agarose Gel simulation.
  • Online Database searching - Search public databases at the NCBI such as Genbank and UniProt.
  • Online BLAST searches.
  • Protein analysis including estimation of Molecular Weight, Extinction Coefficient and pI.
  • PCR Primer design, including an interface to Primer3
  • 3D structure viewing via an interface to Jmol

History

DNADynamo has been developed since 2004 by BlueTractorSoftware Ltd, a software development company based in North Wales, UK [4]

gollark: One is a raspberry pi and one is a cheap one from ebay!
gollark: Who are you asking?
gollark: Get what?
gollark: I should run some projects like that on the osmarks.tk servers, they don't do much.
