Genview and Gencode are tools for testing the adaptive nature of a genetic
code under different assumptions about patterns of genetic error and the na
ture of amino acid similarity. Genview provides a user friendly, point-and-
click interface by which a user may reproduce and extend analysis of the ad
aptive properties of the standard genetic code or any of its secondary deri
vatives. Genview is a graphical user interface (GUI) program which runs on
Linux, Unix (R) and Microsoft Windows (R) platforms and is based on the GTK
+ toolkit. Genview outputs ASCII configuration files which are interpreted
by Gencode to perform an analysis. Gencode is available for the same platfo
rms as Genview.
