1.3

04/21/11

  • New: Added Protein Translation feature that can output protein sequence code based on DNA or RNA sequence that do not have mixed bases
  • New: Toggle button to display protein sequence in 1 or 3 letter code
  • New: Toggle button to display DNA and RNA complements begining from 5' or 3'
  • New: Shows N/A for applicable output fields if completely invalid sequence has been entered

1.4

05/27/11

  • New: Can output all possible combinations of DNA and RNA sequence that contains mixed bases
  • New: Protein Translation feature can now output all possible combinations of protein sequence code based on DNA or RNA sequence that has mixed bases
  • Fixed: Alternating row styling issues associated with some older browsers
  • Improved: Image button rollover responsiveness
  • Updated: Rewrote large portions of the code to make it more organized and scalable
  • New: Cannot enter more than 11 Mixed Bases since it can cause performance issues ('R' 'Y' 'K' 'M' 'S' 'W' 'B' 'D' 'H' 'V' 'N')

1.41

07/27/11

  • Fixed: "N/A" will now show at the Protein Results row when the inputed sequence is too short to map to any Amino Acids

1.42

08/16/11

  • Updated: Increased sequence input limit to 350 bases after many requests

1.5

08/23/11

  • New: Ability to input µg instead of OD as calculation parameter

1.51

08/24/11

  • Fixed: An error where computed combinations of mixed bases in RNA mode do not have their T replaced with U

1.52

02/13/12

  • Fixed: An error where length validator counted spaces as part of the length thus restricting maximun stated length to be entered when spaces are included
  • Updated: Increased sequence input limit to 450 bases after many requests
