+The GenPak (GP) package contains many command-line utilities which
+fullfill a whole bunch of tasks, from DNA sequence searches to
+restriction analysis and determining the melting temperature of
+oligonucleotides. GP utilities can convert DNA / RNA to protein,
+determine codon usage / GC contents, do promotor searches, calculate
+Tm, search for restriction sites, convert sequences into numerical
+representations and much more.
+
+You most likely want to install arka, which provides a GUI for genpak.
+arka is also available at SlackBuilds.org.
