Program Guide for the First-Time Users |
Q: Why this guide? A: MB 6.8x includes many tools for DNA analysis, so it may be a little bit complicated to start using the program to analyze DNA sequences. This guide should give the user quick information on the structure of the input files and on what can be calculated with MB. The list below represents the items of "Analysis" menu. Additional programs (plugins) can be launched from the "plugins" menu. For more detailed information, algorithm explanations, questions about how to add new sequences to the database please refer to "mbhelp.pdf". Q: How can I start the program? A: Normally, just click on "MB DNA Analysis" link from your desktop/program group, you can also execute "mb.exe" from the main directory of the program. When analyzing bigger datasets with many sequences, splitting saved sequence data into several directories is a good idea. In the main folder of the program you will find a small application called "startmb.exe", placing it with the restriction enzymes' database file ("resenz.dat" in the "database" directory of the program) into the folder with your data and executing it, will let the program consider only the data present in that specific directory. This will make the data management a lot easier and will also let you create several restriction profiles (one in each directory). For further information please consult the manual. |
