looking for ssDNA to dsDNA conversion software - (Jun/14/2005 )

Hello all,

I'm looking for a software program that will take a single-stranded DNA and
make it double-stranded -- i.e., do the reverse complement AND include both
strands. For example, something like this:

(input)

ATGCATGC

v

(output)

ATGCATGC
------+-----
TACGTACG


The output also needs to be copyable (if that's a word) into a text file. In my
former life at a richer university we had access to the GCG package which
could do it, but that's not an option now. I do have DNAStar software that
also does it, but the output can't be copied into a text file. Of course, there's
lots of online software that will return the anti-sense strand only, but not both strands.

Any suggestions would be *greatly* appreciated!

Many thanks in advance,

DC

Found it:

It's not quite in the format I would like, but it certainly does the job.

FWIW,
