DNA Strider

DNA Strider is a software application that provides users with a simple means of analyzing DNA in a few basic manners, as well as print selected information.

The installation process can be bypassed, seeing that this product is portable. This also means that the Windows registry is not going to receive any new entries without your approval.

In addition to that, you can take it anywhere with you and use on the fly, by simply placing the program files to an external data device, such as a USB thumb drive.

This program supports multiple file types at import, such as DNAS, MEMO, SEQ, MA4, GB, FASTA and AB1, while saving is possible using a DNAS or MA4 extension. In addition to that, it is possible to reverse a given sequence, make a complement one, as well as combine the aformentioned ones.

A search function enables you to go to a specific sequence, while you can also undo your actions to make sure you do not make mistakes. Multiple format options are integrated (e.g. bold, italic, uppercase, red, green, black, etc.), and it is possible to also cut, copy, paste and delete items with ease.

When it comes to performing analysis operations, it is possible to translate a specified reading or all of them, create a restriction summary accoriding to enzyme name or number of cut, as well as create a cloning plan and amplify oligo.

Last but not least, a few libraries are put at your disposal (e.g. aminacid table, enzyme group, sequencing primer etc.), so that you can find the information you require with just a click of the button.

To conclude, DNA Strider is an efficient and reliable piece of software which enables geneticists or people passionate about DNA analyze, save and print information about specific DNA sequences. The interface is intuitive and minimalistic, the response time is quite good and it does not put a strain on the computer’s performance, regardless of the process under way.
