Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Sequence Character Indexer?
A Sequence Character Indexer is a tool that analyzes DNA or RNA sequences and provides detailed information about each character's position in the sequence. It helps researchers and scientists understand the composition and structure of their sequences.
What types of sequences can I analyze?
This tool can analyze any DNA or RNA sequence. It works with standard nucleotide codes (A, T, G, C for DNA; A, U, G, C for RNA) and can handle sequences of any length.
What information does the report include?
The report includes:
- Total sequence length
- Number of unique characters
- GC content percentage
- Detailed position-by-position analysis
How can I export the results?
You can export the results in CSV format using the "Export as CSV" button. The exported file will contain all the position and character information in a spreadsheet-friendly format.
What is GC content and why is it important?
GC content refers to the percentage of guanine (G) and cytosine (C) bases in a DNA or RNA sequence. It's an important parameter in molecular biology as it can affect the stability and melting temperature of the sequence. GC content is often used in sequence analysis and primer design.
