URL Sharing

The application supports deep linking through URL query parameters. This enables sharing conversion results by distributing a URL that auto-populates the input and conversion type.

Supported Parameters

Parameter	Conversion Type	Input Format
dna_dna	DNA to Complement DNA	DNA
dna_revcomp	DNA to Reverse Complement	DNA
dna_rna	DNA to RNA Transcript	DNA
rna_rna	RNA to Complement RNA	RNA
rna_protein	RNA to Protein	RNA
dna_protein	DNA to Protein	DNA

Usage

Append a query parameter with a nucleotide sequence as the value:

https://dna.richardsblogs.com/?dna_protein=ATGGCCCTGTGGATGCGC

When the page loads, the application parses the URL parameters. If a valid parameter is found, the input field is populated with the provided sequence and the corresponding conversion type is selected. The conversion executes automatically.

Share URL Button

The Share URL button generates a URL containing the current input sequence and conversion type as a query parameter. Clicking the button copies the generated URL to the clipboard. The URL can then be shared with others, who will see the same conversion pre-loaded upon opening the link.

Example

The following URL encodes a DNA-to-protein conversion of an insulin gene fragment:

https://dna.richardsblogs.com/?dna_protein=ATGGCCCTGTGGATGCGC

Opening this URL will populate the input with ATGGCCCTGTGGATGCGC, select the DNA to Protein conversion, and display the translated amino acid sequence.
