NAME

UGENE - integrated bioinformatics suite

SYNOPSIS

ugene -ui

ugene [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

UGENE is a cross-platform environment for DNA and protein sequence analysis. UGENE integrates the most popular bioinformatics computational algorithms and provides both GUI and command line interface for performing complex analysis of the genomic data.

The main features of UGENE:

View and analysis of annotated DNA or protein sequences
Chromatograms visualization and editing
Integrated 3D viewer for files in PDB and MMDB formats
Integrated support of search requests to NCBI databases
Multiple sequence alignment using MUSCLE3, MUSCLE4 and KAlign
HMM profiles build and search, based on the source of HMMER2 and HMMER3
Modern protein secondary structure prediction algorithms based on GORIV and PsiPred
Phylogenetic analysis with Phylip
PCR Primers design using Primer3 package
Cloning in silico
Search for transcription factor binding sites in DNA sequences using SITECON
Search for restriction enzymes and integration with REBASE
Search for direct and invert repeats
DNA reference assembly using Bowtie
Protein back translation
Search for ORFs
Designer for complex computational workflows and queries

UGENE has modular structure and almost all its functionality comes within plugins. Internally UGENE is designed with support of parallelism to make profit from using multicore computers. Every computational task in UGENE is performed in background and does not block user interaction with graphical interface.
