Hi all - sorry I tried to delete this yesterday, it was an issue on my end. Thanks!

Hello,

I uploaded a .csv to mass add students to my PECAAN portal. However, no file popped up with their passwords. Is there an easy way to retrieve them for the students? Or do I manually need to change the password for each student? Thanks!

Thanks Debbie and Lee - looks like I was not annotating the slip appropriately. I still get this message, is this fine for submission?

Hello,

I am bringing my file from PECAAN into DNA Master and having an issue with the programmed translational frameshift. The error I am getting is:

join(8539. .9090;9035. .9475)
1 In-frame Stop Codon

8539 - 9090 and share a 5' (upstream) coordinate

I am fairly certain the frameshift occurs around 9035 and this worked in PECAAN. I tried to follow the guide for programming this into DNA Master but it was not working - does this mean I am labeling the frameshift incorrectly? I am trying to format for submission and could appreciate some help, thanks!

Some further details - my phage is Vivum on PECAAN if you want to look further into this.

Hi all,

Is there a good resource that describe the difference between % Identity vs % Aligned vs % Coverage? These terms are all used in the CDD output on PECAAN and I would like to be able to differentiate them easier. I am getting some snippets here and there on my searches, but nothing concrete. Any help?

Thanks Debbie! I will try - hopefully I can get IT on this problem!

Hi all - I am having the worst time getting DNA Master to work on the department computers I am using. I am having my students annotate some "known" genes from QuinnAvery as practice before we get into our genomes. Is it acceptable to upload a practice copy of a phage genome to PECAAN for use with my students? I plan to delete it after - this will just be so much easier for me than using DNA Master. Please advise! Thanks!

Here are the only options given by the installer when I open it.
