GCto2D | IBt UNAM

Description

One of the main characteristics of the genomes of organisms is the ratio in which the guanine-cytosine bases are used in their DNA sequences. This is known as the genomic GC content and varies widely, from values as low as 13% to values greater than 74%. It has been demonstrated that the genomic GC content of organisms influences the amino acid composition of their corresponding proteomes. GCto2D goes one step further. It allows analysis of the impact genes' GC content imposes on the secondary structures of the proteins they encode.
