Basic gene finding
All CLC bio's workbenches include the option of finding genes by determining open reading frames. This is a fairly simple approach, but may prove valuable in a number of cases - e.g. as a first step in annotating sequences such as cloning vectors or bacterial genomes.
The following parameter options are available:
- Choice between finding reading frames on one strand or on both strands
- Setting of minimum length of the reading frame (defined by the user)
- Start codon, choice between
- AUG
- Any codon
- All start codons in genetic code
- User defined
- Stop codon included in annotation? (yes/no)
- Open ended sequence? (yes/no)
This option allows the open reading frame to start outside the sequence - Choice of genetic codes (all genetic code translation tables are included)
- Minium length of the Open Reading Frame
