Bioinformatics FAQ

There are a large number of bioinformatics programs available to CBRG account holders via this web site. These examples (Frequently Asked Questions) are used to illustrate the use of these tools in answering typical queries posed by researchers.

The major web-based tools from the CBRG are listed, here.


Can I mutate a restriction site without altering translation?

Program name: recoder     

(molbiol username / password required)

Notes: The EMBOSS program, "recoder" scans a given nucleotide sequence for restriction sites. It reports single base positions in the restriction pattern which when mutated remove the restriction site whilst maintaining the same translation (in frame 1 of the input sequence).
