Cloning Tools

 

                 

Clone2Seq™ is designed for those who already know how they wish to recombine two restriction fragments, e.g., cloning a BamHI-EcoRI insert into an appropriately digested vector. The interface makes it easy to select molecules and fragments for cloning, to modify fragment ends for compatibility (if necessary), and to create the desired recombinant, whether circular or linear. Despite the simplicity of the workflow, Clone2Seq™ retains all the power of the cloning functionality in Vector NTI Advance®, including our renowned graphical map creation and parent-descendant lineage tracking.

 

                 

VectorSelector™ enables you to search for cloning vectors based on eight different criteria such as one or two different restriction sites, with annotated coding DNA sequence (CDS) features that confer drug resistance, by linear or circular form and by having specific attB sites that are used in Gateway® cloning. Results are captured in a spreadsheet-style format, and any group of results can be saved to a subset in the Local Database. Any individual search result can be opened in the Molecule Viewer or even sent to Clone2Seq™ for use in a rapid cloning experiment.

 
                  Gene Synthesis with ReGENerator™ allows you to design specific DNAs in silico. Start with your protein sequence, and if required, mutate it by substituting, adding, or deleting amino acids by simply typing in new resides. Any number and type of mutation can be made in this step. Choose a codon-usage table that best reflects your experimental expression system, and ReGENerator™ will calculate a DNA sequence that encodes your desired protein. You can add any number of flanking sequences to the 5′ and 3′ ends of the newly-created DNA—such as restriction sites, Gateway® cloning sites, and expression or purification tags. With the simple click of a button you'll be directed to the GENEART website for the best products and services in gene synthesis.

Robust Data Management and Usability

Vector NTI Advance® software includes the Vector NTI® Local Database, to help you store and manage many types of molecular biology data. The local database allows sophisticated levels of integration of analysis tools and raw data. You can also store the results of many analyses in the database as well.

 

Vector NTI Advance® uses open file format to manage the molecule data, meaning all data files for storage and export are all readable by a text editor (e.g., Microsoft Windows® Notepad). Unlike other programs of this type that use a proprietary data format that locks users into a single software solution, Vector NTI Advance® allows the data files to be openly exchangeable.

 

In a world with growing global collaboration, we believe open data exchange is critical for success. Even if you cease using Vector NTI®, you are assured that your data remains accessible to you and can be imported to a different software program of your choice.

Find out how easy it is using Notepad to take a look at the sequences and molecule descriptions in the database folder of Vector NTI (C:\Vector NTI Database) by opening up the .mol, .seq, and .ma4 files upon which the database is built.
