Noncommercial software (not complete):
- GDE (for multiple sequence alignment, can easily incorporate other
software packages, e.g. Phylip, FastA)
- DNA Workbench (X version under development, see other threads in this
group)
- DCSE (another multiple sequence editor)
Unix platforms are optimal if the machine is networked since then
you can also use remote databases for identifying genes, database searching
etc. (e.g. with the aid of the mailfasta script).
Not to forget: GCG runs under Unix. The new version 8 has an X interface.
