MacVector 26 (released July 2026) saw the introduction of the Cloning Projects Manager.
The Cloning Project manager has new features for designing and documenting cloning workflows using many different technologies.
- Golden Gate cloning
- Ligase Independent Cloning (LIC)
- Gibson Assembly
- Traditional restriction enzyme based cloning
Workflows for all these different cloning technologies follow a similar set of steps:
- Choose a cloning vector
- Choose a gene to clone
- Generate required primers
- Generate a finished construct with full history
The Cloning Projects manager gives you a single place to manage a cloning project and perfectly complements the Cloning Clipboard which supports:
- Gateway Cloning
- In-Fusion Cloning
- Restriction enzyme based cloning.
The two tools make cloning workflows easy to understand but we also have various cloning tutorials to follow too.
These two complementary cloning tools make MacVector the premier tool to help molecular biologists design and document cloning workflows, whatever the cloning method used, with ease.
