VectorPLUS is a bioinformatics aide written by prototypical college students Henry Ward and Jack Walstrom.
VectorPlus returns regions upstream of certain positions in a DNA/RNA sequence. These positions can be determined in one of two ways:
- Position input - enter the desired positions to find regions upstream of
- Sequence search - enter a smaller sequence to search for in a larger sequence
Reads and writes using FASTA files. Works best if the FASTA file you search in has only one sequence, such as a scaffold.
NOTE: Written to replace VectorNTI sequence search functionality. Strictly better than VectorNTI, but generally inferior to BLAST and other searching algorithms.
