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 create a restriction site without altering translation?

Program name: silent     

(molbiol username / password required)

Notes: The EMBOSS program, "silent" looks for positions in a sequence where a point mutation could be made to introduce a specified restriction enzyme recognition site without changing the translation.

Output from silent - looking for silent mutations that would create either BamHI or EcoRV restriction sites in the Xenopus tropicalis cDNA, EMBL:CR848364
