    We made a whole slew of graphical enhancements to MacVector 11.1. Most of these were intended to increase the performance for viewing the graphical map of very large sequences. One of these hides the labels of features when you are showing a heavily annotated sequence. However, in hindsight we set the default value for this…

    The ability to produce de novo assemblies of short read data was introduced into MacVector & Assembler 11 and we’ve enhanced this in MacVector 11.1. Now Assembler stores and visualises metadata on the type of short read you have and also stores and deals with the quality data stored in a better way. Mixing your…

  • MacVector & Twitter

    We’ve contemplated using Twitter in the past, but always hesitated to do so, as most ‘corporate’ users we see just use it as a pure marketing channel, and that’s quite boring! However, quite a few of us use Twitter personally and it’s a great channel to find out real information. With the release of MacVector…

    Over the next few weeks I’m going to be highlighting some of the new features that are being added to MacVector 11.1.

    One of the great things about OS X is that updates are really painless to install! Actually come to mention it upgrading the OS between major versions is usually trouble free too! For minor in version updates System Update will easily download and update the OS, leaving you the user to just reboot. So really…

    in , ,

    With each new release of MacVector we have always strived to be the easiest to use sequence analysis application. We have made some fairly radical changes to the interface over the last few years, and inevitably there are some changes that you know will confuse long time users but are needed to make the interface…
