DESCRIPTION
MacVector... Researchers who want a simple but comprehensive desktop sequence analysis application continually turn to MacVector, the leading sequence analysis package for the Macintosh. MacVector provides sequence editing, primer design, Internet database searches, protein analysis, sequence confirmation, contig assembly capabilities, multiple sequence alignment, phylogenetic reconstruction, coding region analysis, and a wide variety of other functions. With MacVector you can view the results of any analysis in graphical or text format.
All analysis, editing, and display functions are contained within a single application, so not only will you find MacVector remarkably user-friendly but you'll also save time whether you're exploring gene relationships, predicting coding sequences, or conducting cloning experiments. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can flow from task to task with just a few mouse clicks. Furthermore, collaboration with colleagues will be easier than ever because MacVector lets you customize graphic results and export them for high-quality printing.
WHAT'S NEW
Verssion 10.6: Vector NTI Database Reading
- There is a new function that allows you to directly import sequence data
from databases created by Vector NTI Advance v10 or earlier. Select the
new Database->Vector NTI Import… menu item and then click on the Choose
button to locate the Vector NTI database folder on your file system. The
database can reside on a remote Windows machine if required – make
sure you share the parental directory containing the Vector NTI Database
folder on the remote machine, then connect to that machine using the
Finder Go->Connect to Server… menu item.
- Once a database has been selected, MacVector will display a list of all of
the sequences available in the database. There is a popup menu to
toggle between Nucleic Acid and Protein sequences. The list can be
sorted to more easily identify sequence(s) of interest. Select one or more
sequences and then click either the To Desktop button to open those
sequences in MacVector, or To Disk to save the sequences in MacVector
format to a folder on your hard drive.
- MacVector will read all of the standard features and annotations
associated with each sequence. For this release, feature appearance
information is discarded and the default MacVector feature representation
are used instead. In addition, MacVector ignores any restriction enzyme
sites annotated in the database sequence and replaces them with the
default dynamic set of sites used by the Map tab.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.3 or later.
