Statistics about an opened sequence can be found on the Statistics tab of the Options Panel. When a region is selected in the sequence, the statistics is are interactively re-calculated for this region only. The following information is available:
- Common statistics (length, molecular weight, etc.) - see the detailed description below
- Characters occurrence
- Dinucleotides occurrence - available for nucleotide sequences only
- Codons occurrence - available for nucleotide sequences only
- Amino acids occurrence - available for nucleotide sequences only

where fAT and fGC are fractions of AT and GC base pairs, respectively.
Melting temperature
The melting temperature is calculated as follows. For sequences of length 15 or longer:
...
Tm = 64.9 + 41 * (nG + nC - 16.4) / (nA + nT + nG + nC)
For shorter sequences:
...
Tm = (nA + nT) * 2 + (nG + nC) * 4
...
Click on the gear icon near Melting temperature label and the Melting temperature settings dialog will be opened.
Note, that UGENE computes Tm fot sequence regions from 8 to 10000 bp. Otherwise, an undefined value N/A is output.
See the corresponding page for settings details.
nmole/OD260
The amount of DNA or RNA represented in nanomoles per 1 unit of absorbance at 260 nm dissolved in 1 ml cuvette with 1 cm pathlength.
