GENEQUEST

Locate and annotate genes, regulatory elements, and other regions of interest on your DNA sequence.

Home > DNASTAR Bioinformatics Software > DNASTAR Lasergene > GeneQuest

GeneQuest

Finding and annotating the genes and regulatory elements on a sequence can often prove to be a challenge without a centralized tool for evaluating multiple analysis methods.  GeneQuest’s comprehensive set of analytical methods facilitate gene discovery and gene annotation by identifying ORFs, predicting coding regions, and analyzing the structure and composition of your sequence, all on a centralized assay surface. GeneQuest locates repetitive portions of your sequence and lets you display restriction sites and features, plot base frequency and base skew, and predict RNA folding and localized DNA bending, enabling you to easily identify and annotate genes.
