You have discovered the web server for the Genome Consortium for Active Teaching (GCAT) at Davidson College. This provides students and faculty unparalleled capacity and access. Generation I of the server was launched August 7, 2003 and Generation II was launched January 1, 2010. Soon, there will be a lot more on these pages.
Genomics Tools
MAGIC Tool: public domain and open source software for microarray data analysis
DAB: divide and BLAST for discovering evolutionary origins of protein domains
Hemoglobin Mutagenesis: use cDNA sequence to create wild-type and mutant proteins online
Microarray Clustering Tool: clusters a combination of genes from various experiments
Kyte-Doolittle Hydropathy Plots: allows user to perform Kyte-Doolittle hydropathy plots on their sequence
DeRisi Lab: explore the yeast diauxic shift microarray data published by DeRisi, et al.
Word or
Excel files for exploring correlation coefficients
Synthetic Biology Tools
GCAT-alog: online catalog of freezer stocks
The Oligator: chooses oligos for a DNA sequence greater than 20 bp, removes BioBrick restriction sites and adds BioBrick ends
PCR Primer Design: adds BioBrick ends to an input DNA sequence and designs PCR primers
Optimal Agarose Concentration: selects the optimum percent agarose gel concentration for a given length of dsDNA
Lab Protocols: Davidson Protocols for the 2010 iGem Project
