MacVector, Inc. develops powerful but easy to use Macintosh applications for Molecular Biologists to simplify and speed up the analysis, manipulation, assembly and documentation of DNA and protein sequences.

MacVector

MacVector is a comprehensive Macintosh application that provides sequence editing, primer design, internet database searching, protein analysis, sequence confirmation, multiple sequence alignment, phylogenetic reconstruction, coding region analysis, and a variety of other functions. MacVector is widely regarded as the most intuitive, easy to use program available for sequence analysis. More information on MacVector.

Assembler

Assembler is an add-on module for MacVector that provides a simple graphical interface to the phred, phrap and cross_match contig assembly algorithms from the University of Washington and the popular Bowtie fast reference alignment program for Next Generation Sequencing projects. Assembler must be purchased separately from MacVector. More details.

MacVector Free

If you have relatively minimal sequence editing and analysis needs, or you just want to view, print and/or convert sequence files sent to you by a colleague, to check out our new MacVector Free product. It doesn't have all the advanced bells and whistles of the full release, but it might be just what you are looking for. Note that MacVector Free does require a Macintosh computer running OS X 10.5 or later.
