- Sequence assembly and contig editing
- Aligning cDNA against genomic templates
- Sequence alignment and editing.
- Alignment of contigs to each other with ClustalW, MUSCLE, or built-in algorithms.
- Mutation detection, including detection of heterozygous single-nucleotide polymorphism.
- Analysis of heterozygous insertions and deletions.
- Start online BLAST searches.
- Restriction analysis - find and view restriction cut sites.
- Trace sharpening.
- Support for Phred, Phrap, ClustalW, and MUSCLE.
History
The first beta version of CodonCode Aligner was released in April 2003, followed by the first full version in June 2003. Major upgrades were released in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008.
In April 2009, CodonCode Aligner had been cited in more than 400 scientific publications.
