Hey, when I tried to enter following sequence, I received an error:

ATG GCG GCT GAG ATT CTG GCG GGT

The problem seems to be that Wolfram|Alpha can only recognize sequences that look like this:

ATGGCGGCTGAGATTCTGGCGGGT

which is not the way that most programs on the internet output their data. Removing every space from a large sequence (e.g. 500 base pairs) is extremely painful, so I think Wolfram|Alpha should support this format!

It would also be neat if W|A would support FASTA or Genebank formatting, and if it could at least tell me the reverse complement of a sequence I enter!

Of course, what you describe are real issues, but...

To remove all of the spaces from a string, copy the string into the "dumbest editor anywhere" (like Notepad) and use Edit>>Replace to replace all spaces " " with nothing "". Then give it to W|A.

Thanks RogerW, It's working now.
