Extension summary

This extension makes it easier to deal with DNA and RNA sequences in the browser.

If you deal regularly with sequences, you may find that you have to clean up a GenBank sequence by removing the numbers or paste the reverse, complement, or reverse complement into an online tool. This extension eliminates the need to first go to another site, paste, submit, copy, and then go to your site of interest. You can instead use this extension and eliminate the extra step.

If you're interested, you can find the code at the link below. Please also use this link for bug reports, feature requests, and feedback.

Note that although Chrome warns you the extension can collect all site data, it doesn't do so, and doesn't even collect analytics information. Feel free to take a look at the code.

New in 1.0.0:
