Decipher, stylized as DECIPHER, is a software toolset that can be used to decipher and manage biological sequences efficiently using the programming language R. Some functions of the program are accessible online through web tools.

Features

Sequence databases: import, maintain, view, and export sequences.

Multiple sequence alignment: align sequences of DNA, RNA, or amino acids.

Genome alignment: find and align the syntenic regions of multiple genomes.

Oligonucleotide design: primer design for polymerase chain reaction (PCR), probe design for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) or DNA microarrays.

Manipulate sequences: trim low quality regions, correct frameshifts, reorient nucleotides, determine consensus, or digest with restriction enzymes.

Analyze sequences: find chimeras, predict secondary structure, and create phylogenetic trees.
