Inspiration
I wanted to combine my interests in genetics and computer science! I remember learning about DNA in my high school biology class, and using charts to figure out which sequences corresponded to their respective amino acids.
I thought it would be cool to streamline these conversions with code, and see what else I could do with DNA transcriptions and sequences.
What it does
DyNAmic Labs offers tools to convert 3-character sequences into the matching amino acid. It also provides a short description about the amino acid and its function(s).
I also created a simple drag-and-drop feature to visualize these chains, by moving the bases around in different orders.
Next, DyNAmic Labs has a feature to manipulate DNA transcriptions. You can add a DNA sequence and find its reverse or complement sequence. Using these two options, you can also find a sequence's reverse complement.
What's next for DyNAmic Labs
In the future, I definitely want to improve the UI for DyNAmic Labs. Another feature I would be interested in is detecting mutations (ex: base substitution) after translation.
