Smartphones have changed the convenience of everyday life and promises to facilitate core biomedical research analysis. To materialize this for research, we created DNA2App, a free standalone native Android and iOS mobile application that analyzes nucleic acid and amino acid sequences. Boasting a built-in database of more than 240 restriction sites and the amino acid codon table, the app allows sequences to be reverse complemented, translated in all 3 frames and searched for restriction sites, and their GC content and melting point can be calculated. Supplemented by the features of exportation to FASTA format and copying to clipboard, results can be kept or easily stored and communicated. Combined, these features increase the ease and convenience of commonly used sequence analyses that every scientist can carry in their pockets.
