DNA PUNCTUATION

SEARCHING FOR AND VISUALIZING SHORT PALINDROMES AND DIRECT REPEATS

back
The "DNA Punctuation" program searches for and visualizes short palindromes and direct repeats in DNA of different organisms, from bacteria to humans. The current version of "DNA Punctuation" performs a fast search for perfect structures. Its user-friendly graphical interface helps to locate the identified sequences on the level of the whole genome or individual gene or intergenic regions.  
 
Implemented functionalities:
 
 - The program accepts DNA sequences in FASTA (.fna | .txt) format. Gene location files must be loaded in protein table (.ptt) format.
 
 - The user can set up search parameters, such as stem, loop and repeat lengths within a range of minimum and maximum values. Paramters should be modified in the main program.
