GENtle/DNA

thumb|The DNA modul. Within the DNA module, DNA sequences can be viewed, edited and annotated. It is the central module of GENtle. Two major components of the DNA module are the ../DNA map/ and the ../Sequence map/; see there for details. Open and display DNA A DNA sequence can be opened in one of the following ways: Open from a database (see ../Databases/) Import from file (see ../Import/) Manual input (see ../Enter sequence/) Create from another DNA module Toolbar Several functions and display options can be invoked in the tool bar: ../Enter sequence/ Open sequence Save sequence Undo Cut Copy Paste Toggle linear/circular Show/hide open reading frames Show/hide features Show/hide restriction sites Expand (=show only) map Toggle edit mode Zoom Detail tree The detail tree, left of the DNA map, shows all parts of the current sequence, including features and restriction enzymes, in a structured fashion. Features and restriction enzymes can be toggled in visibility by a double click, or further manipulated through the context menu.
