Reverse complement function

Reverse complement tool

There are two ways of doing reverse complement with DNA Baser:
  a) using the Reverse Complement function applied to a sample opened in sample viewer
  b) using the Reverse Complement Tool

Both functions support the IUPAC DNA ambiguity code.

a) The Reverse Complement menu function:

- open a sample (abi, scf, fasta, seq, txt) in sample viewer
- go to Chromatogram menu and press Reverse complement
- the RC sample is displayed; in the case of abi or scf files, the chromatogram is also RC

b) The Reverse Complement dedicated tool:

- in the main window go to View tab and press Reverse Complement Tool
- the Reverse Complement Tool will be opened in a new window
- load from a file or paste your sequence in the upper panel and press START
- the RC sequence is displayed in the lower panel; you can either copy it to clipboard or save it to file
