Apps
Molecular Biology
Work with constructs, sequences, primer design, codon optimization, and vector editing.
The Molecular Biology app is for construct and sequence work. It includes a library view and design tools.
Library
Use the library to inspect:
- constructs
- sequences
- sequence length
- GC content
- feature counts
- linked construct/sequence state
Open a construct or sequence when you need the detailed record or viewer.
Design tools
The design tab includes:
- primer design
- codon optimization
- vector editing through the embedded Open Vector Editor path
Use stored sequences when possible. Pasted sequences are useful for quick design, but saved sequence records are easier to trace and revisit.
Naming
Use names that identify the biological object:
| Better | Avoid |
|---|---|
| MAPK-output qPCR primer set | primers final |
| DUSP6 amplicon primers | design 3 |
| Trametinib-response RNA panel | optimized copy |
Relationship to data
Sequence and construct records can become part of the broader experiment context. When sequence-derived work leads to assay data, keep the assay in Projects and Experiments so data, protocols, and figures remain traceable.
