BiasViz 2: Protein Amino Acid Bias Analysis Applet

by Matthew R. Huska

Summary

This applet can be used to look at the composition of amino acids within a sliding window given a multiple sequence alignment. The window size and amino acid(s) of interest can be modified and the results are displayed in real time, allowing the user to tweak both of these parameters to their liking. The values can also be downloaded as a CSV file which allows further visualization in a separate program such as Microsoft Excel.

Launch BiasViz 2

* requires Java 1.5 or greater (download here). You will also need to accept a certificate so that the program can load your input files from your computer.
