DNA Generator

The DNA sequence generator is a tool that generates a random DNA sequence with a specified nucleotide content. To generate a random DNA sequence, select the Tools→Random sequence generator item in the main menu. The dialog will appear:

The following parameters are available:

  • Length - The length of the resulting sequence(s) (default is ‘1000’ bp).

  • Window size - The DNA sequence generation is divided into windows of the specified size. In each window, the ratio of the base, defined by other parameters, is maintained (default is ‘1000’).

  • Number of sequences - The number of sequences to generate (default is ‘1’).

  • Initialize random generator manually - Value to initialize the random generator.

  • Reference - Path to the reference file (could be a sequence or an alignment).

  • Base content - Set the base content percentages manually.

  • GC Skew - Set the GC skew of the resulting sequence.

  • Output file - Output file.

  • Format - Output file format (default is ‘fasta’).

  • Add to project - Adds the generated sequence(s) to the project.

Once the Generate button is pressed, the sequence(s) are created.
