ONLINE ANALYSIS TOOLS |
Each of the items in blue text is hyperlinked to a separate page containing useful sites on the Web.
Analysis of nucleotide and protein sequence data was initially restricted to
those with access to complicated mainframe
or expensive desktop computer
programs (for example PC/GENE, Lasergene, MacVector,
Accelrys etc.). The availability
of
online tools permits even the novice
molecular biologist the opportunity to derive
a considerable amount of useful nformation from nucleotide or protein sequence
data. For those with no experience I have provided three sequences:
(a) a DNA sequence, (b) a
protein sequence, and (c) four protein sequences presented in
FASTA format.
Prior to trying
out a Web Site select the sequence and copy to clipboard.
Each of the items in blue text is hyperlinked to a site on the
Web. Each of these Web Sites has a box into which you can
"Paste" your sequence. Click on the button labeled
"Search,"
"Run" or "Submit." If in doubt use the default setting that
the sites provide, but for the more adventuresome
some of the sites offer the chance of modifying the search strategy.
