- My own set of C++ libraries is undergoing a rewrite to improve
- their design and reliability. I will post a message to this
- newsgroup when that rewrite is done identifying an ftp source.
-
- These libraries provide basic functions for manipulating and
- analyzing nucleic acid and DNA sequences, as well as simple
- GenBank parsing capabilities and an interface to the
- device-independent graphics package contained within
- the GCG sequence analysis package. Also included are
- a set of sample programs which demonstrate using the libraries
- to:
-
- translate DNA/RNA into protein
- extract all open reading frames from a DNA/RNA sequence
- perform simple parsing of GenBank flat-files
- perform simple parsing of BLAST output
- look for oligonucleotide repeat regions in DNA
- look for protein regions likely to form coiled-coils
- generate GCG-compatible codon usage tables from sets of sequences
- search for restriction sites in DNA
