DNADynamo is a commercial DNA sequence analysis software package produced by Blue Tractor Software Ltd that runs on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux It is used by molecular biologists to analyze DNA and Protein sequences. A free demo is available from the software developers website.

Features

DNADynamo is a general purpose DNA and Protein sequence analysis package that can carry out most of the functions required by a standard research molecular biology laboratory

• DNA and Protein Sequence viewing, editing and annotating
• Contig assembly and chromatogram editing including comparison to a reference sequence to identify mutations
• Global Sequence alignment with ClustalW and MUSCLE and editing.
• Select and drag Sequence alignment editing for hand made dna vs protein alignments
• Restriction site analysis - for viewing restriction cut sites in tables and on linear and circular maps.
• A Subcloning tool for the assembly of constructs using Restriction Sites or Gibson assembly,
• Agarose Gel simulation.
• Online Database searching - Search public databases at the NCBI such as Genbank and UniProt.
• Online BLAST searches.
• Protein analysis including estimation of Molecular Weight, Extinction Coefficient and pI.
• PCR Primer design, including an interface to Primer3
• 3D structure viewing via an interface to Jmol
