We’ve wanted to start a blog to better communicate with the MacVector community since we started MacVector, Inc, at the start of 2007. However, there’s always been something else to do. No longer! We already have our forums with contributions from users and with the blog we want to do something different. We will bring you tutorials and helpful articles on using MacVector and also to show you insights into our company and us. We also hope to bring you a peek into what’s coming in future releases too.
We have always tried to listen to users on what they want to see in MacVector. We’ve run surveys, asked (and received!) feedback on the forums, and generally been proactive about asking you what you want MacVector to do. Perhaps this is a refreshing approach for a commercial sequence analysis app as we’ve had a great response. So much that we already got MacVector 11, MacVector 11.5 and beyond already planned out. Still as a small company we do try to be flexible. For example due to user requests, we’ve brought forward the introduction of the Vector NTI database browser to version 10.6 (released last week). This was originally planned for the 11 release.
MacVector has been about for many versions and has a loyal band of users. We hope that this blog will help you better use MacVector and for us to continue to improve it.
