BioInfoMan Feature Summary

  • Highly integrated : all analysis resources and results, public and local databases, and all available bioinformatics tools are seamlessly integrated. For example, users can easily search and retrieve sequences from on-line databases and save them in local databases. Immediately they can load these molecules to perform all types of analysis. Then they can quickly save their results to local databases for future access.
  • Maximal automation : the main goal of developing BioInfoMan is to maximally automate most tedious sequence analysis and molecular cloning work. For example, the cloning wizard (BCW) eliminates all impossible cloning sites, one-click to view the map, one-click to get the virtually cloned construct designed, together with automatically designed PCR or gene synthesis primers. Furthermore, users are click-away to get oligos ordered or get construct sequenced (sequencing request submitted). Designing sequencing primers also requires just a few clicks. They are many other examples of automation in BioInfoMan.
  • Web-based secure access and continuously improved : BioInfoMan represents the only completely web-based sequence analysis and data management system on the market. Also, high security is available due to the powerful BxAF system. Every webpage and every piece of database data are controllable by webmasters and/or users. In addition, BioInfoMan is continuously improved and updated by BioInfoRx, Inc. All upgrades will be available for free whenever they are released.
  • Completely integrated packages for oligo synthesis and sequencing companies.
  • A lot pre-loaded information , such as common constructs, oligos, vector features (promoters, antibiotic markers, tags…), and much more.
  • Many unique tools : (not complete list here)
    • Easy-to-use (the easiest!) tool to search and retrieve molecules from on-line databases.
    • Powerful and foolproof cloning wizard: the gene synthetic cloning is new and not available in any commercial products.
    • One-click to design oligos and get them ordered (optional)
    • Rare codon analysis of a sequence for any species.
  • Optimized reverse translation (Also integrated with the cloning wizard):
    • Codon optimization for any species
    • GC content optimization
    • Restriction site optimization
    • RNA secondary structure optimization.
  • Smart sequencing result analysis through alignment:
    • Automatically trims the ambiguous sequences off the two ends of your results
    • Automatically align reverse-complementary sequences
    • Highlights the differences after alignment
    • Aligns multiple sequencing results against a single target sequence and multiple input file formats are supported
    • You can store your target sequences on-line (retrieved from GenBank or entered by yourself) and access them at any time.
  • Auto-annotate constructs: By paste just sequences, the tool predicts all common features and converts your sequences to fully annotated GenBank format.
  • Construct manipulation without losing annotation:
    • Reverse the GenBank-formatted construct
    • Rotate the construct
    • Delete a region from the construct
    • Add a fragment into the construct with all feature annotated automatically updated.
  • Complete restriction digestion analysis.
  • All types of protein and DNA sequence format conversion and manipulation: Users can do almost anything to manipulate the sequences, calculate the properties and so on.
