SeqCalc: A portable bioinformatics software for sequence analysis.
Journal Title: Bioinformation - Year 2010, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Rapid genome sequencing enriched biological databases with enormous sequence data. Yet it remains a daunting task to unravel this information. However experimental and computational researchers lead their own way in analyzing sequence information. Here we introduce a standalone portable tool named "SeqCalc" that would assist the research personnel in computational sequence analysis and automated experimental calculations. Although several tools are available online for sequence analysis they serve only for one or two purposes. SeqCalc is a package of offline program, developed using Perl and TCL/Tk scripts that serve ten different applications. This tool would be an initiative to both experimental and computational researchers in their routine research. SeqCalc is executable in all windows operating systems. AVAILABILITY: SeqCalc can be freely downloaded at http://code.google.com/p/seqcalc.
