using clustalw to align/compare

[question]

hello everybody!

 

i wonder what can i do to get my nucleotide sequence and aa of a gene being translated under each other so i can have a whole picture of which nucleotide belongs to the aa and which aa belongs to the nucleotide in a paper?

 

for example:

 

atg ttt tta ........

M P L ...........

 

this would be of great help, since the aa and protein sequence of a gene are in different places (databanks and even in the same databank) and i waste my time on translate every code into its aa.

 

hope you get my point!

thanks alot!

you need gene analysis software....such as GeneRunner, BioEdit, Gene Jockey, DNAstar etc....there are some free downloads out there that will let you do all the basic manipulations you need. Just try a Google search for free DNA analysis software.
