Convert RNA to DNA
Use the Convert RNA to DNA tool to convert an RNA sequence into DNA, substituting the U residues (Uracil) for T residues (Thymine). It is available at:
Tools | Nucleotide Analysis (
)| Convert RNA to DNA (
)
This opens the dialog displayed in figure 19.2:
Figure 19.2: Translating RNA to DNA.
Use the arrows to add or remove sequences or sequence lists from the selected elements list.
You can select multiple RNA sequences and sequence lists for conversion. If a selected sequence list contains DNA sequences, those sequences will not be converted.
Click Finish to start the tool.
This will open a new view in the View Area displaying the new
DNA sequence. The new sequence is not saved automatically. To save
the sequence, drag it into the Navigation Area or press Ctrl + S
(
+ S on Mac) to activate a save dialog.
