Bug fixes in version 1.0.15g:
- This update fixes a few bugs for stability.
- An enzyme that was incorrectly designated as a symetrical has been redesignated correctly as asymetrical.
New features:
- A new feature is now available under the tools menu that allows reverse translation of amino acids to DNA, optimized for a variety of organisms. By inputting an amino acid sequence, selecting an organism and clicking “Convert”, pLOT will reverse translate and output the resulting DNA in the window below. Other DNA sequences can also be placed in the DNA window and the “?” button clicked to copy codon preference information for the selected organism to the clipboard.

Figure 3. Clicking the “?” button copies codon usage information of the DNA sequence in the DNA window for the selected organism.
