====== Gene Designer ======

Gene Designer from DNA2.0 Inc. is a tool for molecular biologists and synthetic biologists. This software enables the user to:
  * Design DNA sequences by assembling smaller functional elements.
  * Backtranslate amino acid sequences 
     * using codon frequencies for your expression host
     * removing unwanted motifs (restriction sites, ribosome binding sites, splice sites etc)
     * adding convenient silent restriction sites
  * Perform computational cloning
  * Design oligonucleotides for sequencing, mutagenesis and PCR amplification

and much more...

====== Installation Guide ======
  * Gene designer requries Adobe Air runtime to run.  Click [[https://get.adobe.com/air/|here]] to install that first if you do not have that already.
  * Download [[http://localhost:3000/eCommerce/genedesigner/download|Gene Designer]] installation file.  This will require you to register and you'll get a special registration key to unlock the install.
    * Check your spam folder if you cannot find it in your inbox.

  * Trouble shooting steps
    * Uninstall adobe air from your system and then reinstall.
    * Uninstall Gene Designer and then reinstall.
