Scientific and Educational Software (P.O. Box 440, State Line, PA (717)597-5307
has a good PC package called "Clone" which allows you to do your cloning
strategies, draw maps of the finished labeled plasmid and store it in a
"database". The "Enhance" program allows you to make nice construction
diagrams from all the pieces. The price isn't bad if I remember correctly, I
think it was in the hundreds (as opposed to thousands) and the updates have
been good.
BTW, I do not work for them... Hope this helps.
