The GeneDesign modules have been designed for individual use and flexibility.
The movement of nucleotide sequences between modules is accomplished with
the single click of a button. For instance, you can
go from codon
juggling to oligo design, or from site insertion to site removal and back
to site insertion, simply by directing the results of one module to another.
The main GeneDesign modules are Codon Juggling, Reverse
Translation,
Silent Site Insertion, Silent
Site Removal, and Oligo Design. The chart
at right illustrates the flow of information between these five
modules. Not pictured is Sequence Analysis, which can be entered from
any of the main modules.
There are three supplementary modules, Random DNA
Generation, Enzyme
Choosing and
Vector Choosing.
These modules do not interface with the others but provide information that is
useful to the design of synthetic genes.
