  • 101 things you (maybe) didn’t know about MacVector: #10 – Displaying Amino Acids As Triple Letter Codes In Translations

    Following on from my last post about turning on translations in the sequence Editor, I thought I should point out how to display amino acid translations using the 3-letter code rather than the default single-letter code. I don’t know about you, but I have a hard time remembering that “W” is the single-letter IUPAC code…

  • 101 things you (maybe) didn’t know about MacVector: #9 – Showing Translations In The DNA Sequence Editor

    If you have used MacVector for many years, you’ll remember the days when the single sequence editor was THE main way you interacted with MacVector. When MacVector 10 was introduced back in 2007, the Editor became just one tab in the single sequence window along with Map, Features and Annotations tabs, all of which at…

  • 101 things you (maybe) didn’t know about MacVector: #8 – Tutorials

    Some of the most common support calls we get are from users who are not sure how to use a particular feature in MacVector and would appreciate having someone walk through the steps with them. In many of these cases, it turns out that we have published tutorials that have exactly the information they are…

  • 101 things you (maybe) didn’t know about MacVector: #7 – Copying the graphical appearance of a feature

    Following on from the graphics tips of the last few posts, here’s one that can save you a lot of time if you are the sort that likes to keep the appearance of your features consistent between sequences (like me). Suppose you have downloaded a sequence from Entrez, or been sent a sequence in GenBank…

  • 101 things you (maybe) didn’t know about MacVector: #6 – Getting Graphics Out of MacVector

    MacVector’s Map graphics can provide highly detailed views of individual sequences in linear or circular format, or of the results of many analyses. You can print these to a printer with no loss of detail, even if blown up to many magnifications. However, it is often more useful to insert these graphics into other applications…

  • 101 things you (maybe) didn’t know about MacVector: #5 – Printing Graphics Onto A Single Page

    The Map tab of MacVector’s single sequence editor displays highly detailed graphics showing sequence in circular or linear format. It is highly customizable and the graphics can be printed or copied to other applications using Apple’s internal PDF vector graphics format, resulting in images that can be scaled to any size with no loss of…

  • 101 things you (maybe) didn’t know about MacVector: #3 – The Importance of Topology

    MacVector understands the difference between circular DNA molecules and linear DNA molecules. Not just from the standpoint of how the molecule is displayed on the screen, but also in regard to how the analysis algorithms handle the junction at the ends of the circle. The Topology button controls the underlying linear versus circular state of…

  • 101 things you (maybe) didn’t know about MacVector: #2 – Option-click to open the Default Symbol editor

    If you download sequences from BLAST or Entrez, or import GenBank or EMBL files with lots of features, you may wish that the features (genes, CDS, promoters etc) showed up differently in the Map tab, or maybe your favorite features don’t show up at all unless you turn them on using the Graphics Palette. Its…
