CLC Protein Workbench 5.7.1

CLC Protein Workbench 5.7.1 is developed to be an essential program which allows you to creates a software environment enabling users to make a large number of advanced protein sequence analyses. It is combined with smooth data management, and excellent graphical viewing and output options.

Major Features:

1. Protein sequence analysis
   • Integrated 3D molecule view
   • Transmembrane helix prediction
   • Antigenicity
   • Secondary protein structure prediction
   • PFAM domain search
   • Web-based prediction of signal peptides and their cleavage sites 
   • Hydrophobicity analyses and graphs
   • Protein charge analysis and graphs
   • Reverse translation from protein to gene (a number of translation tables)
   • Interactive translations of DNA and RNA to protein (both single sequences and alignments)
   • Proteolytic cleavage detection
   • Report of protein statistics (one or more proteins in each report)
   • Comprehensive report including a range of protein analyses in one document
2. Database searches
   • Web based sequence search using BLAST
   • BLAST on local databases
   • Build local BLAST databases
   • GenBank Entrez searches
   • UniProt searches (SwissProt/TrEMBL)
   • PubMed lookup
   • Web based lookup in UniProt, NCBI, and Google
3. Pattern search
   • Search for sequence matches
   • Motif search for basic patterns
   • Motif search using regular expressions
   • Motif search with ProSite patterns
   • Pattern discovery (unknown patterns)
4. Project and data management
   • Full integration of data input, data management, calculation results, and data export
   • Detailed history log
   • All types of files can be saved in local projects, and launched from the program
   • Import and export of data in a large number of file formats
   • Option of working in several active workspaces at a time, enabling simultaneous work on multiple projects
5. Other bioinformatics features
   • DNA, RNA and protein sequence editor displaying both linear and circular molecules
   • Multiple alignment of DNA, RNA, and proteins 
   • • Two proprietary algorithms
     • ClustalW
     • Muscle
     • T-Coffee
     • MAFFT
     • Kalign
   • Joining multiple alignments into one
   • DNA, RNA, and protein alignment editor
   • Interactive logo graphs along both DNA, RNA and Protein alignments
   • Batch processing of analyses on multiple sequences in one work-step
   • Advanced re-alignment and fix-point alignment option
   • Manual annotation of sequences
   • Dot plot based analyses
   • Local complexity region analyses and complexity plots
   • Gap fraction graphs
   • G/C content analysis and graphs
   • Advanced pairwise comparison
   • Extract annotations

Enhancements:

• New and improved features
• • Exporting fastq format no longer includes redundant name of the read in the quality score line. Now the name only appears once per read.
• Bug fixes
• • Fixed: Annotations spanning the sequence from start to end did not display right when the sequence was wrapped. The annotation was only displayed on the first line.
  • Fixed: Motif search did not exclude regions with Ns when the option "Exclude matches in N-regions for simple motifs" was selected.

Requirements:

• Mac OS X 10.5 or later
