New in DNActions 1.1 (Dec 17, 2013)
- Performs basic tasks for working with DNA sequences that are common in any bioinformatics suite (such as EMBOSS). It can process several sequences at once. DNActions always sits handy on the Dashboard, requiring no internet connection.
- Allows for the use of degenerate nucleotide symbols.
- Four modules to perform different actions on DNA sequences and a reference module:
- CompRev Module: obtain the complement reverse sequence of a given sequence.
- Translate Module: obtain the protein translation of a given DNA sequence using the standard genetic code. It can give the translation in the three forward reading frames and in the three reverse reading frames. It can understand degenerate codons.
- CpG Module: find CpG dinucleotides in a sequence and return their position and the original sequence in lowercase with the CpG dinucleotides highlighted in uppercase.
- Composition Module: calculate the nucleotide composition and CG% of a DNA sequence. Calculate the Tm (melting temperature) of a DNA sequence.
- Reference Module: contains a genetic code table for quick reference.
- Interface localized to english, spanish and french. The little amount of text in the output is always given in english.
- Should work on 10.4.3 or later, with some issues on OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
