Innovative software tools for biologists


We specialize in software solutions for DNA and protein analyses, plasmid map drawing, and electronic virtual cloning. We currently offer the following products:


CloneMap | MacPlasmap | MacPlasmap Pro


CloneMap version 2.11 for Windows

Plasmid map drawing, restriction site mapping, and virtual cloning


CloneMap provides a complete solution for fast and easy plasmid map drawing,restriction site mapping, and virtural cloning. High-quality plasmid maps can be created with or without DNA sequences. Map features can be added by restriction site searching, feature table parsing, or easy, interactive manual entry. Restriction sites can be displayed on the map using predefined enzyme filters, or reported as text files summarizing sites together with DNA sequences. Common DNA sequence manipulations such as translation, open reading frame identification and display, and sequence conversion are provided. Free form graphic drawing objects, floating text, and Windows metafile can be added to the map to enhance map presentation. Map fragments can be inserted or deleted to generate related maps, with concomitant changes in the underlying DNA sequences.




MacPlasmap version 2.1 for Macintosh

Plasmid map drawing and restriction site mapping


MacPlasmap version 2.1 is an easy-to-use color drawing program for preparation of circular and linear plasmid maps. Maps can be generated from a variety of data sources, including DNA sequences, GenBank/EMBL feature tables, PICT or TEXT files, and plasmid structural information. Maps can be cut and joined to create recombinant maps, and can be exported to other programs via the PICT or TEXT format. Many convenient tools, such as map rotation, label alignment, map ruler, and text editing, are provided to aid you in graphically presenting even the most complex genetic constructs in just a few minutes.

    MacPlasmap Pro for Macintosh

    Complete solution for electronic virtual cloning and sequence analysis


    MacPlasmap Pro contains a comprehensive set of functions for desktop cloning and sequence analysis. It contains all the features found in MacPlasmap version 2.1 , plus the following major enhancements:

  • Complete integration of sequence (both DNA and protein) with interactive graphic map.
  • Advanced functions for visual, virtual cloning.
  • Rich document format supporting multiple maps, drawing objects, gel simulators, and external PICTs.
  • Extensive restriction site analysis and reporting.
  • Common DNA and protein analysis routines.
  • Integrated plotting of protein properties.
  • Realistic gel simulator.
