MacVector (less userfriendly and less powerful than DNAStar; missing many
capabilities of DNAStar does have subsequence search which DNAStar lacks)
DNAsis (cumbersome less user friendly, missing some essential capabilities)
DNA Stridor (a toy)
Blast server (best of any for sequence homologies; has alu and promoter and
transcription factor databases; no multiple alignment or circular map or
shotgun seq alignment or protein analysis or abstract linkage)
entrez: super for abstracts and fast for homologies; cheap; unable to do
searching with your own query sequences
Geneworks (flawed, possibly because appears to have been designed by
programers, not biologists)
Oligo (good for primer design only)
