D-Tailor: automated analysis and design of DNA sequences
Download: source code (sourceforge and github) and tutorial
Synopsis: Recent advances in DNA cloning and synthesis technologies afford high throughput implementation of designed sequences into living cells. However, our ability to design sequences to interrogate multifactorial biological processes and further engineer biological functions is lagging behind. DNA-Tailor (D-Tailor) is a fully extendable software framework for biological sequence analysis and multi-objective sequence design. D-Tailor permits the seamless integration of an arbitrary number of sequence analysis tools into a Monte-Carlo algorithm that evolves synthetic sequences towards user-defined goals.
