To celebrate the recent release of MacVector 12.6 and the release of Mountain Lion we are offering a 10% discount on all new licenses and upgrades throughout August.
Here are some of the new features in MacVector 12.6. If you like what you see and are interested in purchasing a license, or upgrading an existing license, then place an order by the end of August, 2012, quoting “QUICKTEST2012 and we’ll give you a 10% discount.
QuickTest Primer: If you design a lot of primers, you are going to love QuickTest Primer. It redefines the ease and flexibility with which you can design primers on a computer. Choosing a primer is as easy as selecting an approximate region on the template for your primer and nudging it until QuickTest Primer tells you it is optimal. Watch hairpin, primer dimers and other undesired primer characteristics change in real time as you slide your primer along the template. Design primers with mismatches and/or tails.
Data Importing Improvements: MacVector has always been great at bringing in date from other sources (it’s also good for exporting your sequences and graphics too!). With MacVector 12.6 we’ve broadened MacVector’s capacity to import from public databases. You can now import annotations from UCSC’s Genome Browser and other sites such as Wormbase and ToxoDB using GFF, GFF3, and BED files for annotating, or updating, your own sequences.
Assembler Improvements: The reference assembly functionality in Assembler has had major performance enhancements for displaying large assemblies and can now import existing BAM/SAM and ACE alignments for display. SNPs are displayed on the sequence as well as in the SNP report.
Give it a try.
We hope you take advantage of the free trial and if you would like a quote with the 10% discount, please contact sales@macvector.com and your account manager will reply to you.
