Data Entry

Customization

Data is entered through the DNASIS MAX Entrez search function or by dragging and dropping any fasta formatted file. Other acceptable formats include Genbank flat file, EMBL, PIR and ABI or SCF sequence trace files.

DNASIS MAX allows the organization of DNA and amino acid sequences, and other information concerning biological molecules into standard categories - such as vector sequences, DNA or protein motifs - as well as user defined categories. BLAST search results can also be stored. Selected preset database options are shown at the left side of the analysis window when the Database tab is active.
