=== DNA Markers

The file "markers.txt" contains DNA markers for virtual gels.
For some, it is a bit of a misnomer, since genetic markers are typically anything that can be used to distinguish individuals (or distinguish genetic mosaics within the same individual).
Statistical geneticists would expect primer pairs to enclose copy number variations or low complexity regions of different lengths, or plain single nucleotide polymorphisms.
These could also be relevant for GENtle to describe but are not covered, yet.
GENtle's markers for the time being are molecular-weight-markers, i.e. collections of well-defined DNA fragments with known molecular weight that you can expect to order from one of the popular suppliers or to produce yourself by exposing a well-accessible DNA sequence to a combination of endonucleases.
One entry constitutes of exactly one line in that file.
You can add your own entry in the following form:

Name:amount,bp:amount,bp:amount,bp:amount,bp: ...
*Name is the name of the marker.
*bp is the number of base pairs in that band.
*amount is the amount of DNA in that band if 500 ng of the marker is loaded per lane (ng).
":amount" can be omitted. The default amount (20) is then used.
Markers you enter will be used in the next GENtle release!

The following requested features are listed on the GENtle https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GENtle/Feature_requests[WikiBook]. With the advent of GitHub, a better place to manage requests for new developments may be its GENtle https://github.com/GENtle-persons/gentle-m/issues[issues] page.

* Import of Vector NTI Database/Data
* Export of Map as Vector Graphic
* Edit and move around Plasmid Map Layout
* Allow storage in database of complete sequencing files (if space is a concern maybe an upper limit of 2 sequences for each clone would suffice)
* Add sections in the database to allow record of box storage position of clone's DNA, glycerol stock, primers
* Allow closing of files with Ctrl-W
* Clicking a region in the vector map should take the cursor to that region in the sequence viewer.
* Tm and palindromic sequences should show for primers
* The database should be searchable for a protein/nucleotide sequence
* Feature names should be maintained when inverted during ligation
* Selection should be able to be copied as reverse complementary
* "Klenow-filling" should include removal of 3'-overhangs
* Virtual gel for any DNA sequence
