MacVector 13.5 is the best release yet for comparing large sequences and handling NGS data. The new interface is even more polished and further performance tuning has ensured this release of MacVector is faster than ever. If you do not yet have MacVector then the next seven days are just for you. Starting from today, […]
If you are running MacVector 12.7.5 or earlier Blast will stop working for you from the end of this month. The fix for this is below.

MacVector 13.5 was released last week. MacVector 13.5 is the best release yet. It’s had a redesign and rewrite of existing tools to make comparing large sequences faster and to improve handling of NGS data. Additionally the new interface, introduced in MacVector 13.0, has had many “tweaks” in response to user feedback. Plus a continued […]
While most MacVector analysis algorithms can handle circular sequences, its sometimes useful to be able to set the “12 o’clock” point to a different location on the circle. This is easy to do with recent MacVector releases. If you are using MacVector 13.5, then all you have to do is position the flashing caret between […]
