General description
Allows graphic manipulation of DNA Sequences and sophisticated plasmid drawing options. It has an award winning interface design that allows graphic manipulation of DNA sequences in addition to providing sophisticated drawing capabilities. GCK was named the "Best Plasmid Mapping Software" by the Biotechnology Software.
• Ideal for planning and tracking complex construction projects
• Manipulate actual DNA sequences through a unique and innovative graphical interface
• View construct either as a text sequence or graphically, linear or circular
• Automatically monitor and adjust DNA fragment ends during cutting and pasting
• Define thickness, pattern, shape, direction, and color for each DNA segment
• Search, download and import GenBank and EMBL files with all GenBank feature table items translated automatically into GCK features.
• Unique Chronography feature tracks the history of any given DNA segment and maintains alternative views
• Cut and paste DNA fragments from one construct to another (including segment history)
• View predicted electrophoresis patterns of restriction digests including partial digests
• Show DNA with protein sequence and/or with restriction enzyme or other sites of interest
• Create illustrations containing multiple constructs, gels, sequence listings, free text, legends and other graphics
• Create silent mutations to add or remove a restriction site from a sequence without changing the coding information
• Mark restriction sites using one or more completely editable and expandable enzyme lists
• Find Open Reading Frames using any codon table you specify
• Display the name of any region within the construct window
• Frame segments of DNA in the sequence display. Frames can encompass the site markers, sequence, and/or regions of a construct.
• Display and manipulate multiple constructs in the same illustration window
