I've written a few small programs for my own use. If you find them useful, they're freely available.
Problems, comments, or suggestions? My email address is iayork, and I'm at iayork.com.
I make no promises or warranties of any kind. They work for me, and I haven't heard of any problems from others who have tried them, but I won't guarantee that they will work for you. Use at your own risk.
Plasmid maps for MacOSX.
XPlasMap draws plasmid maps, showing features such as genes, promoters, multiple cloning sites, and restriction enzymes. The maps are designed to be easily modified (e.g. to map new inserts in a vector), and features can be customized in a number of ways.
XPlasMap requires MacOS10.4 (Tiger) or 10.3 (Panther) (separate downloads).
XPlasMap is free (as in no cost) and can be redistributed as a complete package. I make no guarantees or warranties of any kind.
