Apple released macOS Mojave today (Tuesday 25th September). Over the past few months we have performed preliminary testing with MacVector 16.0.9 on various development releases of macOS Mojave through its development cycle and all appears to be well. So whereas we cannot state MacVector is compatible until it is officially released, we can say that […]
The next OS release for the Mac will arrive later this year. MacOS Mojave is a significant OS upgrade and includes a lot of new features, especially when compared with the differences between OS X El Capitan, macOS Sierra and macOS High Sierra. Our developers have been hard at work ensuring that when macOS Mojave […]
macOS® High Sierra will be released Monday 25th of September. Whether you intend to upgrade early, or months later, you’ll be pleased to know that MacVector 15.5 (the current version) and MacVector 16 (our upcoming release) are both fully supported and compatible with macOS High Sierra.

The problem manifests itself by showing an error message that the file is “damaged” and cannot be installed. […]
You can use the Database->Align To Folder menu function in MacVector to quickly search any set of folders on your hard drive for matching sequences. Its like having your own personal BLAST search that just scans files of interest to you. The great thing is, when you find matching sequences, you can easily open them […]

OS X 10.11 El Capitan was released last week. We’ve been testing MacVector on the developer releases of OS X EL Capitan in the run up to the official release. However, as usual we prefer to fully test on an official release of OS X before saying that MacVector is supported. We’ve now done so […]
