  • Sequence tab:
    • FASTA: View your sequence in FASTA format (not numbered).
    • GenBank: View your sequence in GenBank format (features listed, numbered).
    • Reverse Complement: View the reverse complement of your sequence.
  • BLAST tab:
    • Determine what your sequence encodes by using BLASTN to search for a DNA match or BLASTX to search for a protein match.
  • Align tab:
    • Compare your sequence to another sequence.
  • Digest tab:
    • View restriction sites in your sequence. View unique cutters, non-cutters, and expected cut sites.
