< GENtle
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:

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.
