CLC Sequence Viewer (former CLC Free Workbench) is a tool that enabling users to make basic bioinformatics analysis by create a software environment.
Here are some key features of "CLC Sequence Viewer":
Bioinformatics features in CLC Sequence Viewer:
Multiple alignment of DNA, RNA, and proteins:
· Two proprietary algorithms
· ClustalW
· Muscle
· T-Coffee
· MAFFT
· Kalign
· Consensus sequence determination and management
· Conservation score along alignments
· Open reading frame determination
· Easy access to web-based protein and nucleotide search in GenBank, including download facilities and full graphical overview of sequence annotations of your choice
· Translation from DNA to proteins (all genetic translation tables)
· Reports with residue composition, molecular weight and iso electric point (for proteins)
· Neighbor-joining and UPGMA phylogenies
· Restriction site analysis and viewing
· Create reverse complement
· Shuffle sequence
· Option of viewing and graphical manipulation of bioinformatics analyses made in commercial workbenches from CLC bio
Other features in CLC Sequence Viewer:
· Full integration of data input, data management, calculations results, and data export. This eliminates time spent on manual data transfers between different programs and databases
· All types of files can be saved in local projects and launched from the program
· Detailed history log
· User-friendly graphical tools used in order to find and work with relevant regions of DNA, RNA and protein sequences
· Text-based sequence view
· Easy printing of reports and graphics
· Export of user-defined figures to various graphics file formats
· Import and export of data in a large number of file formats
· Option of working with different files and in different file projects at the same time
· Option of working in several active workspaces at a time, enabling simultaneous work on multiple projects
Requirements:
· 256 MB RAM required.
· 512 MB RAM recommended.
· 1024 x 768 display recommended.
· 32 or 64 bit
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
Improvements:
· Aligned fasta import and export is now supported (see http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/FASTA_multiple_alignment_format). A consequence of this is that the standard fasta import of sequences will reject to import sequences that contain gaps, assuming they should be imported as alignments instead.
· Keyboard shortcuts for Reverse Complement (Ctrl + R) and Translate to Protein (Ctrl + Shift + T) tools. See the full list of keyboard shortcuts.
· The license order ID is visible in the License Manager, both for static and network licenses. For security reasons, the last 10 characters of the ID are masked. This will prevent unauthorized persons from copying the license order ID to another computer, but will allow the CLC staff to identify the license used.
Bug fixes:
· Fixed: Cloning bug: when performing restriction cloning in regions with single-stranded DNA, you would get an error.
