MacVector 12.5: Creating alignments with T-Coffee and Muscle

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 10:36:11 GMT

With MacVector 12.5 we’ve added additional multiple sequence alignment (MSA) algorithms. Muscle and T-coffee have been added to the Multiple Sequence Alignment editor complementing the existing ClustalW algorithm. We’ve wanted both of these for a while now and judging from the results of last year’s survey so have many users.

What's New in MacVector 12.5?

Thu, 15 Dec 2011 10:05:15 GMT

The most important additions to MacVector 12.5 have been a series of improvements to the add-on Assembler module to handle reference alignments of large numbers of next generation sequencing reads using the popular Bowtie assembler algorithm.You can find more details in blog posts here and here and on the Assembler product page.

The main MacVector product has new Multiple Sequence Alignment algorithms (Muscle and T-Coffee), rewritten auxiliary editor windows and numerous enhancements to the single sequence Editor and Map tabs. More details are in the MacVector 12.5 Release Notes.

MacVector and Assembler 12.5 are released

Thu, 15 Dec 2011 10:04:38 GMT

MacVector 12.5 was released yesterday. A few days late but we’d always prefer to wait rather than release with annoying bugs.

MacVector 12.5: Interface improvements and redesign

Thu, 15 Dec 2011 10:04:07 GMT

With each release of MacVector as well as adding new features we continually redesign and rewrite many existing parts of MacVector. This is done for a number of reasons. For example:

to accommodate changes in OS X, where generally with every major release they make major changes under the hood.
to optimise workflows, where we try to respond to user feedback and make analyses both easier to use and quicker without removing any functionality.
to redesign dialogues and tools to make them easier to use whilst keeping all the options for the power user.
to take advantage of new OSX features to make life easier.
As a recent example you can now run a primer analysis and literally drag and drop a primer pair or their product to the sequence window to annotate those features to the sequence.

MacVector 12.5: Creating reference assemblies with Bowtie

Mon, 21 Nov 2011 12:27:12 GMT

With Assembler 12.5 our developers have come up with an affordable and straightforward solution for assembling and visualizing your NGS data. Generating sequencing data is cheaper than it has ever been, however, with this increase in data has come a problem with analysis. Assembler will now create reference assemblies with just a few mouse clicks using Bowtie.

MacVector 12.5: Get Assembler for half price!

Mon, 21 Nov 2011 12:26:36 GMT

To mark the release of MacVector 12.5 and this great new functionality in Assembler we’re offering users an opportunity to add Assembler to your MacVector license for half price. Not only that but if you have an older license of MacVector and want to upgrade your license then you’ll still be able to add Assembler at half price. If you do not have MacVector and want this great new functionality then you’ll still be able to add Assembler to a new license for half price.

MacVector 12.5: Sequence Assembly made easy.

Tue, 25 Oct 2011 08:16:02 GMT

Assembler has always made it easy to assemble your sequencing projects. It hides the complicated algorithms and provides a point and click interface to show you the results. With the release of MacVector 12.5 the range of tasks that Assembler will perform has been greatly extended. Now with the addition of high throughput reference assembly using the popular Bowtie algorithm, Assembler can now support the alignment of many millions of NGS reads against genome sized references.

Problems with DMG appearing not to mount.

Mon, 10 Oct 2011 10:32:05 GMT

Sometimes when you download the MacVector disk image and try to mount it nothing appears to happen.

Generally this is because although it has been mounted a Finder window has not popped up. It also affects those of us with messy desktop (not me of course!). If you have many files then you might miss the MacVector CD icon.

MacVector 12.0.6

Mon, 10 Oct 2011 10:31:39 GMT

MacVector 12.0.6 was released a few days ago. This has a few small but significant bug fixes. If you are running MacVector 12 it’s a recommended upgrade.

Are you teaching a Molecular Biology Course this year?

Wed, 31 Aug 2011 08:19:13 GMT

Many MacVector users don’t realize that we offer FREE licenses for teaching purposes. If you or your lab owns a license of MacVector 12 with a current maintenance contract, you are eligible. If you are teaching a course this year and are in the process of preparing your course content, consider using MacVector as a teaching tool. All we need is the course name and number, start and stop date of the course, and the number of seats needed. If you are interested in this, but your license is older, you can upgrade it at a fraction of the cost of a new license. You are then eligible for teaching licenses. Contact sales@macvector.com if you are interested.

MacVector and upgrading to Lion

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 08:00:10 GMT

The latest version of OS X, Lion, has been out for a few weeks and it’s a great operating system. MacVector 12 has been tested and although not yet officially supported, it works great..

Designing primers that do not bind at multiple places in your template

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 07:59:23 GMT

The default settings for Primer3 do not actually check for whether a primer will bind at multiple places in the template. To turn this on use the PRIMER vs PRODUCT setting in the PRIMER BINDING tab (the Primer3 parameter is “PRIMER_MAX_TEMPLATE_MISPRIMING”). The default value is -1, which means do not check. Change this to 1 to start checking, or increase the number to increase stringency.

MacVector, Assembler and network licensing

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 07:58:47 GMT

We recently changed the way that Assembler network licenses are shared out to make it easier for many users to share a single license. Previously an Assembler license was checked out whenever you loaded MacVector with Assembler. However, now an Assembler license is only checked out when you start a new assembly project or open an assembly project. Thus leaving it free for one of your fellow users if they need Assembler. This means that a license can now be shared a lot easier than before.

MacVector on OS X 10.7 Lion

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 07:58:16 GMT

Lion was released through the App Store earlier today.

Although MacVector has not gone through a full round of testing, our initial tests on development builds and the released version shows that there are no bugs, or at least no obvious ones!

Hiding Tooltips in the Editor.

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 07:57:38 GMT

A feature new to MacVector 12 is the ability to both annotate and display features directly in the Editor, without having to open a separate Map view window.

There are also tooltips that show the feature on the sequence directly under the mouse cursor. For example in the following screenshot you see the ID of a CDS feature annotated on the sequence.

MacVector 12: Drag and Drop annotation of your sequences

Wed, 06 Jul 2011 09:27:49 GMT

If you click and drag a result from a results map to a sequence window it will be annotated as a feature. For example dragging a primer from a primer results map will annotate that primer as a MISC_BINDING feature in the sequence (see the screenshot where the PCR product has been annotated).

Roaming Network Licenses

Mon, 20 Jun 2011 13:52:19 GMT

We’ve recently introduced a new feature to make using a network license much more flexible. Network licenses are great for sharing licenses amongst a large number of users. However, if you are not physically located in the same building (i.e. connected to the LAN) then it’s not straightforward. For example if you want peace and quiet to write that paper at home or you are at a conference. We aim to make life as easy for the user as possible and so we’ve just introduced a new option for such users.

ASM 2011 in New Orleans

Mon, 20 Jun 2011 13:51:53 GMT

The ASM2011 was a great show. We had a busy booth with some old friends and some new faces. We learnt more about what users need and some of that feedback has already gone into our next release, MacVector 12.5, that will be out towards the end of the Summer. We had fun outside the hall as well. New Orleans is a great city with friendly people, although I never could understand why those guys on the moonwalk knew where I got my shoes.

MacVector at the ASM2011 in New Orleans

Mon, 16 May 2011 12:45:33 GMT

It looks like the flood waters will not be a problem for this year's American Society of Microbiologists 2011 conference In New Orleans. So we're brushing up our Yat and looking forward to some creole and cajun cooking. If you are also in New Orleans, please do come by and visit us on Booth #1128. We'll be demoing the latest version of MacVector, as well as looking to chat with users. Come pick up one of our ever popular mousepads too! Not just a conference freebie, but actually useful by the lab computer.

New, personal, single-machine licenses now available.

Mon, 16 May 2011 12:44:32 GMT

We would like to announce a new license type that is now available – a personal license. This license is perfect for the user who only needs MacVector on one computer. It is perpetual (lifetime), will be node-locked to run only on one machine, and is less than half the cost of a standard license

Label customisation using metatags in the map view

Wed, 13 Apr 2011 15:41:26 GMT

MacVector has always given the user great control in being able to customise the map’s appearance. By default the label will show the full text description of a feature and all its qualifiers (see the first metatag in the list below). However, the label can contain whatever text you want it to display. Obviously you do not want to waste lots of time changing multiple labels and so MacVector has metatags to define the information that is placed inside the Label. For example using the code below will show the name and location of a feature.

Wed, 26 Jan 2011 13:05:40 GMT

In MacVector 12 designing your construct with Click Cloning has never been easier. There’s a stack of new features to enhance restriction mapping and choosing how to get that fragment into your cloning vector.

MacVector 12: Creating features from results

Mon, 17 Jan 2011 21:13:30 GMT

MacVector has always allowed you to generate a large amount of information about your sequence. However, it’s not always been easy to create Genbank compatible annotations back to your sequence. With MacVector 12 we’ve added a feature to be able to simply right click (or drag and drop) a results feature (say a primer) and add it to the main sequence.

MacVector12: Forwards (and backwards!) compatibility of MacVector files

Thu, 13 Jan 2011 09:50:00 GMT

MacVector is very good at forward compatibility with sequence files. We do strive to ensure that all versions of MacVector will open files created by earlier versions. In fact MacVector 12 will still open files created by the very first version of MacVector!

Preview release of MacVector 12

MacVector 12.0 is almost ready for release and you can download a preview release here. The full release will be out shortly.

Copying subsequences from larger sequences.

Sat, 27 Nov 2010 17:19:04 GMT

Sometimes when working on a small subsequence of a much larger sequence it is easier to take that section and make a new file. It is also generally useful in such circumstances to preserve the original numbering. For example if you want to analyse a single gene, but still keep the numbering in the context of the full chromosome or genome. With MacVector whenever you copy a section of a sequence then paste this into a new sequence it will preserve the numbering.

Aligning primers against a template sequence

Mon, 08 Nov 2010 10:44:33 GMT

A common request, especially in our recent survey, is to align existing primer sequences against a template sequence. There are many ways to do this in MacVector, depending on what your requirements are

ANOTHER NOVEMBER SPECIAL OFFER: Buy or upgrade MacVector and receive Assembler for free…..
By Chris | Published: October 27, 2010

Quite a few users have asked why we are only having an offer to upgrade old network licenses rather than all any licenses. We do not want to upset people and so we’re allowing anybody who upgrades a standard license in November to receive a free copy of Assembler when they do so. We’re also being generous to new users and giving anybody who purchases a new license of MacVector an extra 10% discount AND a free copy of Assembler.

Clustering an alignment

Mon, 25 Oct 2010 09:47:35 GMT

Sometimes it is useful to sort, or cluster, an alignment according to the similarity/identity of its sequences. With such a sorted alignment you are able to more easily visualise closely related sequences as they will be together in an alignment with more distantly related sequences being much further apart.

Creating your own subsequence library of primers

Fri, 15 Oct 2010 16:38:04 GMT

As mentioned in a recent post MacVector has a powerful feature called Subsequence searches. This function allows you to keep a library of sequence pattern matches, using a powerful nomenclature with up to three parts, and quickly scan protein and nucleic acid sequences with this library. .Although MacVector ships with a number of collections of interesting sites of both proteins and genes you can easily create your own subsequence files.

Error 500 when installing MacVector

Mon, 04 Oct 2010 20:59:03 GMT

With some operating systems buying a new computer can mean days migrating all your data and applications over. However, with OS X the Apple Migration Utility almost completely removes the hassle and the pleasure of your new Mac is not diluted by the pain of migration!

However, this utility is not perfect and sometimes when you have imported your applications and data from an older machine the permissions are not set correctly. For MacVector this may mean that you cannot write to the /MacVector/ folder even though you have Administrator privileges. This will manifest itself with a variety of symptoms but the most common one is seeing a “ERROR 500″ when trying to activate a license.
This error message you are means that the installation process/license activation (i.e. YOU!) does not have permission to write the license file to the hard drive.

A huge savings of more than 50% off the regular price of a network upgrade –plus we will throw in an extra license! If you have an old two-seat network license, we’ll upgrade it to a 4 seat standard license for the price of a 2 standard license upgrade.

New features in the upcoming MacVector 12 release.

Tue, 07 Sep 2010 07:00:54 GMT

We’re hard at work with our MacVector 12 which will be out toward the end of the year. This is a little longer than our usual six months since MacVector 11.1 came out. However, this is a big release! There has been a rewrite of various interfaces with the aim of making them more accessible to new users and for making cloning and constructs easier. It is also focused on increasing the performance of all graphical aspects of the interface. For example the map view has been completely redesigned and rewritten. Graphical overviews are the easiest way to visualise your sequence and in MacVector 12 even very large sequences with a rich level of annotation can be visualised and navigated easily.

Keeping your copy of MacVector up to date.

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 09:50:22 GMT

Following our regular releases, which are every six months or so, we regularly release minor updates. These updates generally contain important bug fixes. So it is always important to ensure that you are using the most updated version of a major version.

The volcanic ash cloud covering most of Europe is a timely reminder of just how powerful nature is. With the disruption to air travel it’s also a great reminder of just how most communications can be done without meeting face to face. Whereas it is always nice to meet with MacVector users, any such visit inevitably involves substantial travel. With the tools available now, there’s almost no need to travel. We’d prefer to keep our travel costs down (& our software!) and the cost to the environment. We’re also sure you’d prefer to be in the lab, rather than being sat in a meeting!

Hidden labels in the Map view?

Mon, 19 Apr 2010 15:44:49 GMT

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 to be too low! We'll change this for the next release but if this annoys you, then change the default to be 1000 instead. To do so go to the MacVector Preferences and change the value in the Map View preference

MacVector Survey for 2010

What’s New in MacVector 11.1?

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:35:12 GMT

As mentioned in the last few posts MacVector 11.1 is a release designed to consolidate and 'tweak' the many new features and changes that have been made over the last three years. In the main these changes are designed to simplify and speed up many common workflows as well as providing better integration with OS X and improving performance. However, there's also some longstanding bugs that have been fixed and as usual a great deal of these changes have been made in direct response to users' feedback. On that last point, as ever we encourage you to let us know what you think about MacVector, and whereas we always welcome emails to "support@macvector.com" and phone calls, we will be running a survey towards the end of this month to elicit feedback. The last survey we ran was quite a while ago now, and we got a some extremely valuable feedback. Incidentally we offered one of the new video iPods for one lucky winner last time, what cool new device from Apple could we offer this time.....!

We've mentioned a few of these changes over the last few posts, here's an overview of the notable ones.

Auto Annotation in MacVector 11

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:14:06 GMT

How often have you received or downloaded a vector or other DNA sequence that has no annotations? New to MacVector is the ability to annotate a bare sequence, based on a library of template sequences.The auto annotation function will scan a folder full of existing annotated sequences and automatically add matching features to the bare sequence. Not only does the algorithm add the features, but it also copies the appearance information of the matching features so you can be assured that e.g. an ampicillin resistance gene is always a blue arrow, an M13 origin is always a striped red box etc.

Gateway Cloning in MacVector

MacVector 10.6 released

Mon, 30 Mar 2009 10:06:23 GMT

MacVector 10.6 has just been released, which has a new VectorNTI database browser that allows MacVector to import sequences DIRECTLY from your VectorNTI database, without any need to copy or archive files. All sequence features and related information are preserved. MacVector follows the Genbank format for the features table and is always kept up to date with the latest Genbank release, so where possible MacVector will also migrate any old and deprecated features information contained in the VectorNTI file into the current up to date features nomenclature. This release also includes enhancements and optimizations to assembly algorithms.

VectorNTI DB browser coming soon.

As a competitive upgrade offer, we will give you a 25% discount on a new MacVector license if you have been using the free academic Vector NTI license, or a 50% discount if you have been using a paid Vector NTI license.
