Useful Web Pages for MolBiologists

[Chong-Yee Khoo]

I've set up a couple of web pages which might be of interest to readers 
of this group.

Oligonucleotide Vital Stats
---------------------------
URL: http://cy-mac.welc.cam.ac.uk/oligo_form.html

Accepts an oligo sequence and sends back useful information on it such 
as length, composition, percentage GC content, melting point (calculated 
by 2 methods), and various molar and concentration equivalents. The salt 
concentration can be determined by the user (with a default of 150mM, of 
course!)

Bipartite Nuclear Localisation Sequence Locator
-----------------------------------------------

URL: http://cy-mac.welc.cam.ac.uk/biploc_form.html

Runs a search through an amino acid sequence, looking for bipartite 
nuclear localisation sequences (pair of basics + spacer of any 10 amino 
acids + cluster of 3/5 basics). Options include a choice of spacer 
length, and also two search methods (Faster and More Comprehensive).

Reference: Robbins, J., Dilworth, S. M., Laskey, R. A. and Dingwall, C. 
(1991) Cell 64, 615-623.

Please note that with both pages you have to enter the sequence without 
any spaces or carriage returns. Have a go at them and let me know what 
you think - I would appreciate any feedback you may have. I hope you 
find them useful!
