PromKappa 1.0 makes Objective Digital Stains

[Paul A. Gagniuc]

PromKappa 1.0 is a complete application made in Visual Basic 6.0 (VB6) that generates Objective Digital Stains (aka DNA patterns). The main output of the application consists of a series of images that are saved in the chart folder (or the chart_comp folder), which can be later analyzed using different methods. Note that if you are familiar with python, then VB6 will come natural to you. Also, note that once the application is started, the first step will be to load a FASTA file (the Homo sapiens (8515).txt) using the Open promoter file button. In the PromKappa case the Homo sapiens (8515).txt contains a series of gene promoters, as the analysis of gene promoters was the main aim of this application.

The compiled version of PromKappa (PromKappa.exe) will ask for a dependency file called msvbvm60.dll and possibly other dependency files. These files are present in the bin folder. The following files are a complete set of dependencies that a regular VB6 app may require:

• msvbvm60.DLL
• VBA6.DLL
• shlwapi.dll
• MSCOMCTL.OCX
• COMDLG32.OCX
