Product Description:

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 wide variety of other functions. MacVector is widely regarded as the most intuitive, easy to use program available for sequence analysis.

What's new in this version:

There is a new function that allows you to directly import sequence data from databases created by Vector NTI Advance v10 or earlier. Select the new Database->Vector NTI Import... menu item and then click on the Choose button to locate the Vector NTI database folder on your file system. The database can reside on a remote Windows machine if required - make sure you share the parental directory containing the Vector NTI Database folder on the remote machine, then connect to that machine using the Finder Go->Connect to Server... menu item.
Once a database has been selected, MacVector will display a list of all of the sequences available in the database. There is a popup menu to toggle between Nucleic Acid and Protein sequences. The list can be sorted to more easily identify sequence(s) of interest. Select one or more sequences and then click either the To Desktop button to open those sequences in MacVector, or To Disk to save the sequences in MacVector format to a folder on your hard drive.
MacVector will read all of the standard features and annotations associated with each sequence. For this release, feature appearance information is discarded and the default MacVector feature representation are used instead. In addition, MacVector ignores any restriction enzyme sites annotated in the database sequence and replaces them with the default dynamic set of sites used by the Map tab.

VectorNTI no longer free - Version: 10.5, 12/30/2008 10:05AM PST

As of 15th of Dez 2008 VectorNTI is no longer free - you are now required to pay a yearly fee to maintain your license and access your data.

Invitrogen just completely shot their credibility - not just as a software vendor but as a supplier too - by holding users data hostage to a ransom.

So kudos to all those who stayed with MacVector.

Regardless of free competiton, MacVector is an invaluable tool for the Mac. It does things all other Bioinformatic apps cant, but then, this is true for each app, and you probably need a suite of apps to solve your needs. Nevertheless, MacVector is at the TOP of the list.

Vector NTI was bought by Invitrogen and is now FREE for non-commercial (i.e. academic) users. VNTI used to be around $3000, like MV. The one drawback to this is that VNTI doesn't run well with Tiger yet. But once it does, it'll be tough competiton for the folks at MacVector.
