Code biofox aims at implementing various bioinformatics tools as an extension on the firefox and seamonkey browsers. analysis of your favorite gene(s) usually require(s) retrieving it from a database like ncbi or swiss-prot and then performing one or more tasks including but not limited to:

* translation of a nucleotide sequence;
* blast search (eg. blastn, blastp etc.) of the desired nucleotide/protein
sequence;
* calculation of properties (like pi, charge, molecular weight, at/gc content
etc.) of a protein/nucleotide sequence;
* conversion between formats (genbank, fasta, swiss-prot etc.);
* prediction of sequence for sub-cellular localization (predotar, targetp,
psort etc).
