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 […]
This article is the first in a series of “howtos” resulting from the 2010 survey results. It may not be at the cutting edge of sequence analysis but sooner or later most users of such apps are going to have to produce a graphic of their work, whether that is a plasmid map, a tree, […]
MacVector 11.1 has had many changes that are designed to simplify and speed up many common workflows as well as to providing better integration with OS X and improving performance. A great deal of these changes have been made to improve the graphical Map view. Performance MacVector’s Map View allows the features and results (e.g. […]
Have you ever got that plasmid back from the sequencing facility as a bare sequence with no annotations? Or downloaded that vector from from the vendors site to find its only available in a fasta format with no features? Or maybe your collaborators send you poorly annotated sequences. Maybe your lab-mate uses MacVector but insists […]
With earlier versions of MacVector the graphical Map was treated as a separate object to the actual sequence, and you could save it directly as a graphic file (PICT) from the Map window. However, the graphical map changed substantially with MacVector 9.5 and even more in 10.0, and now you need a different way to […]
