The User-Interface
Each DNACowboy Sequence Window is divided into two interactive display areas. The upper area can display either the DNA/Protein sequence, tables of restriction enzyme sites or notes. The lower display area is used for graphic restriction enzyme Maps, Features map, Open Reading Frames map, seperate Protein Translation, or the Vector Boxes 'Multiple Cloning Site' viewer.


The 'divider' between the two displays may be moved to adjust the space given to each display and the whole window may be resized as required. Frequently used tools are quickly accessed by pressing the buttons in the main buttons panel while other features are accessed via the pull down menus at the top of the window.

Subsets of enzymes for use in restriction enzyme analysis functions can be selected with the enzyme box selection button.

The DNA/Protein sequence can be viewed and edited in DNA Only, Translated or Protein Only Mode, Each mode can be selected directly from the 'Sequence' menu or by pressing the Mode button.
