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