Automatic highlighting of alignment data now allows for equivalence matching of protein data, i.e. amino acids do not need to match exactly to be highlighted. The Special menu has a new option for translation, which includes reverse-complement translation. Before, translation could only be done with the Format option. The manual has been revised, with new examples added. Six pages added.
Feedback is always welcome.
That's how I make DNAdraw better. DNAdraw runs with the typical Macintosh interface, i.e. pull down menus, mouse control, scroll bars, dialog boxes, cut and paste, etc. The user selects text with the mouse, then chooses a type of highlighting or a special option from a menu. Normal Macintosh-type editing can be done by switching to Mac Edit mode. In addition to doing highlighting, DNAdraw has special features for formatting raw data into a style commonly used for publication, and for doing automatic highlighting of aligned sequences based on matching or equivalent characters in columns.
