'''DNADynamo''' is a commercial DNA sequence analysis software package produced by Blue Tractor Software Ltd <ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bluetractorsoftware.co.uk/ |title=Home |website=bluetractorsoftware.co.uk}}</ref> that runs on [Microsoft Windows](/source/Microsoft_Windows), [Mac OS X](/source/Mac_OS_X) and [Linux](/source/Linux)<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.bluetractorsoftware.co.uk/requirements.htm|title = System requirement for running DNADynamo}}</ref>
It is used by [molecular biologists](/source/Molecular_biology)<ref>[https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=DNADynamo&btnG=&hl=da&as_sdt=0 Google Scholar citations]</ref> to analyze DNA and Protein sequences.  A free demo is available from the software developers website.

== Features ==
DNADynamo is a general purpose DNA and Protein sequence analysis package that can carry out most of the functions required by a standard research molecular biology laboratory

* DNA and Protein Sequence viewing, editing and annotating
* Contig assembly and [chromatogram](/source/chromatogram) editing including comparison to a reference sequence to identify mutations
* Global [Sequence alignment](/source/Sequence_alignment) with [ClustalW](/source/ClustalW) and [MUSCLE](/source/MUSCLE_(alignment_software)) and editing.
* Select and drag [Sequence alignment](/source/Sequence_alignment) editing for hand made dna vs protein alignments
* [Restriction site](/source/Restriction_site) analysis - for viewing restriction cut sites in tables and on linear and circular maps.
* A [Subcloning](/source/Subcloning) tool for the assembly of constructs using Restriction Sites or [Gibson assembly](/source/Gibson_assembly), 
* [Agarose Gel](/source/Agarose_gel_electrophoresis) simulation.
* Online Database searching - Search public databases at the NCBI such as [Genbank](/source/Genbank) and  [UniProt](/source/UniProt).
* Online [BLAST](/source/BLAST_(biotechnology)) searches.
* Protein analysis including estimation of Molecular Weight, Extinction Coefficient and pI.
* [PCR](/source/Polymerase_chain_reaction) Primer design, including an interface to Primer3
* 3D structure viewing via an interface to [Jmol](/source/Jmol)
