DECIPHER is a software toolset that can be used to decipher and manage biological sequences efficiently using the programming language R. Some functions of the program are accessible online through web tools.
Features
- Sequence databases: import, maintain, view, and export sequences.
- Multiple sequence alignment: align sequences of DNA, RNA, or amino acids.[1]
- Genome alignment: find and align the syntenic regions of multiple genomes.
- Oligonucleotide design:[2] primer design[3][4] for polymerase chain reaction (PCR), probe design for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)[5] or DNA microarrays.[6]
- Manipulate sequences: trim low quality regions, correct frameshifts, reorient nucleotides, determine consensus, or digest with restriction enzymes.
- Analyze sequences: find chimeras,[7] predict secondary structure, classify into a taxonomy,[8] create phylogenetic trees, and ancestral reconstruction.
- Gene finding: predict genes in a genome, extract them from the genome, and export them to a file.
