How to use this Help

Menu - View

Pie Chart

Brings up a new window illustrating the distribution of gene types as color-coded in the legend.  


Two Frame

Illustrates the genomic sequence data in both the positive and negative directions (for each strand) of DNA.


Six Frame

Expands the available data in the sequence to account for all three possible reading frames (depending on which amino acid you begin counting from).  Data is provided in both translation directions as well.


Text


Shows the sequence data by the base pair letters, color coded by genes.



No Tab

Determines that there will be no extra settings tabs in the lower left corner of the Bluejay browser.

Shape Tab

Makes available a tab in the lower left corner of the Bluejay browser for determining the configurational representation (circular or linear) of the current data set.

Orientation Tab

Has three individual features: Rotate, Reverse Complement and Cut (see below).

Reverse Complement

Selects the complementary DNA strand for forward representation.  Allows for viewing the complementary strand (for example, to find ORFs).

Rotate

Rotates the circularly drawn data set by the specified degree value.  For example, inputting 45 into the degrees box and clicking on Apply results in the circular representation rotating 45 degrees clockwise.

Cut           

Cuts the DNA strand at the point specified and redraws the document starting with the next base after the point specified.  For example, inputting 85000 into the entry box (or sliding the slider to that base) and clicking apply moves the first 85000 bases to the end of the display and thus the beginning of the gene display begins at base 85001.

Show A + G% Level
Creates an additional "track" on the sequence data in the main window to show the percentage distribution of A + G composition of the sequence.


Show C + G% Level
Creates an additional "track" on the sequence data in the main window to show the percentage distribution of C + G composition of the sequence.
