Import Multi-Sequence Genbank Files into an Assembly Project for easy access to Features
Read more: Import Multi-Sequence Genbank Files into an Assembly Project for easy access to FeaturesThere are many genomes in the Genbank database that cannot be downloaded as single annotated sequences. These might be large multi-chromosome eukaryotic genomes, but, increasingly, partially sequenced bacterial chromosomes where the major contigs have been annotated using the NCBI annotation pipeline. Typically, when you encounter these, there are options to download annotated versions of these…

Opening Genbank or FASTA files with multiple sequences as individual sequences
Read more: Opening Genbank or FASTA files with multiple sequences as individual sequencesMany sequence formats contain multiple concatenated sequence entries. For example FASTA and Genbank are two formats capable of storing multiple individual sequences. By default MacVector will treat such sequences as alignments and open them in the Multiple Sequence Alignment editor. Most users who want to open such a file do want to see an alignment.…

Optimizing Align To Folder Parameters for use with NGS Data
Read more: Optimizing Align To Folder Parameters for use with NGS DataYou can use the Database | Align To Folder function to scan large fasta or fastq files containing NGS data to find and retrieve just those reads that match a specific target sequence. The search is aware of paired-end reads, so when you retrieve hits, both reads of a pair will be saved into a…

Read more: What can MacVector do for my lab?Here’s what MacVector can do for your lab. Comparing sequences Whatever type of alignment your sequence needs, there’s a tool in MacVector. CRISPR Indel Analysis: Identify insertions and deletions following CRISPR editing of a target. Compare Genomes: Compares two related annotated genomes to identify identical, similar and weakly similar features. Sequence assembly of NGS data…

HOW DO I video guides to common molecular biology workflows
Read more: HOW DO I video guides to common molecular biology workflowsMacVector has a wide array of different tools for working with protein and DNA sequences. MacVector has always been designed with the Mac’s simplicity in mind and getting started with simple tasks is quick. However, making the most of the many functions and getting familiar with MacVector’s wide range of tools does require more help…
