Restriction CloningSimVector enables you to filter restriction enzymes from a list of most commonly used enzymes and create a fully annotated restriction map. The cloning technique requires the restriction enzymes to cut the vector molecule and the molecule to be cloned. Draw Accurate Restriction Maps with SimVectorRestriction maps are a graphical depiction of the restriction sites on a plasmid. SimVector helps to draw highly accurate plasmid restriction maps with features, annotations, restriction enzyme sites and cloning sites. |
Whether you are a catalog company selling engineered plasmids or are performing restriction analysis for recombinant cloning experiments, SimVector will help you simulate the experiments and create publication quality plasmid maps from start to finish. Use the software to draw circular and linear plasmid maps in a variety of colors, patterns, fonts and line types. Display enzyme names in two font styles with the bacterium portion in Italics, as is traditional. Use even more than one font style and color in a single textual word anywhere in the plasmid map including in the feature annotations.
Export plasmid maps in EPS format for Adobe Illustrator 10, SVG for Microsoft Power Point 2002 or as ready-to-host web pages. Choose JPEG, TIFF and PNG formats for export.
Vector catalogs generally display MCS's in a unique format, with enzymes one above the other in a vertical list. SimVector identifies the MCS's by interpreting GenBank header annotations or you can specify them manually. It then draws them in this special format we call the "Bracket View". It even has the smarts to list only the enzymes that cut within the MCS and nowhere else.
