🧬 PromKappa 3.0 Objective Digital Stains in VB6

PromKappa 3.0 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 chart_comp folder), which can be later analyzed using different methods. A second output can be the results.htm file which contains a series of measurements for each ODS generated by the application. 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 gene_promoters_complete.fa) using the Open promoter file button. In the PromKappa case the gene_promoters_complete.fa contains a series of gene promoters, as the analysis of gene promoters was the main aim of this application.
