About Sequence Converter 1.0...

This is a native Mac  OS X (cocoa) program that very simply converts a sequence (which may contain non DNA bases) to a DNA sequence and its reverse compliment.  This program removes any non-DNA base characters from the sequences, so you can easily paste a sequence from GenBank into this program; however, if you include the header information, any base characters (GATCgatc) will be included in the sequence--so don't do this.  When the degenerate box is checked, the program accepts the degenerate bases N or n.  It also gives GC content and DNA sequence length.  

I basically wrote this program for two reasons 1) I wanted something to do this conversion very quickly and in OS X, and 2) I wanted to play around with programming in OS-X.  I think I accomplished both.
