This alignment algorithm has three parameters for calculating the gap costs. Image source: QIAGEN CLC Main Workbench Sequence AlignmentĬLC Main Workbench is efficient in aligning the nucleotides and proteins by using the Progressive alignment algorithms. Given below is a biomolecule structure generated from PDB 2R9R. A file with information on 3D Coordinates only can be used to generate entire structures. The “ Generate Biomolecule” option lets you generate biomolecules structures in CLC Main Workbench.The Protein structures can be aligned too.The transfer of annotation between the sequence and structure is feasible too. They link the sequence alignments to the molecule structure. There are some tools present in the 3D viewer that helps in linking the sequence and the structure.You can BLAST search the structure file against the PDB database.The visualization settings include- hydrogens, fog, clipping plane, 3D projection, coloring, etc. The visualization can be customized with different colors and styles of representation. You can view the protein structure in 3D.It allows the importing of molecule structure files from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) or its file in the system. Find function to search within a sequence.Annotation type and layouts, restriction sites, motifs, the coloring of residues.Sequence label- adding details such as name, accession, common name, etc.The position of sequences- shows the position of residue in a protein/DNA sequence.Double-stranded- applies only to the double-stranded DNA sequence.Wrap sequences- no wrap, automatic wrap, fixed wrap.Spacing- no spacing, every 10 residues, every 3 residues frame 1, every 3 residues frame 2, every 3 residues frame 3.There are several choices in Sequence Layout. You can zoom in, zoom out, and edit the sequence.On double-clicking the sequence in the navigation area, the sequence of amino acid or DNA or RNA will appear on the view panel. This feature offers to view the sequence. The various tools and features of CLC Main Workbench are mentioned below: Sequence Editing and Viewing Concerning genome engineering approaches based on nuclease-induced DNA double-strand breaks, this protocol could aid in detecting the unwanted effects caused by the donor fragments themselves.CLC Main Workbench is a complete and all-rounder package for thorough analysis. This work should pave the way for future genotoxicity analyses. Additionally, we demonstrated the usefulness of this approach for primary cells by treating human CD34 + hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells with a 100-nucleotide-long unmodified oligodeoxynucleotide directed against the endogenous CYBB locus. For a 21-nucleotide-long phosphorothioate-modified oligodeoxynucleotide, we compiled a broad array of error-free incorporations, point mutations, indels, and structural rearrangements from actively dividing HEK293-derived cells. This protocol was validated in gene repair experiments without intentionally inducing a DNA double-strand break. Affected chromosomal fragments are enriched and preferably sequenced by nanopore sequencing. Thus, we have developed a protocol that follows the fate of a biotin-labeled single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotide in human cells based on its physical incorporation into the targeted genome. Because the usability of single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides depends on their efficiencies, as well as their specificities, analyzing their genotoxic off-target activities is important. They enable gene repair and genome editing, and they are central to the antisense technology. Short single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides are versatile molecular tools used in different applications.
