I know that this subject pops up pretty often, but since new programs keep
appearing every other day, I figured I might bring it up again.
We are planning on purchasing a molecular biology software package for
Windows. I know of several programs:
DNASIS 2.0
VectorNTI 3.0
DNAman (saw advertisement in this group, but didn't receive any response to
my email yet)
DNAstar
GeneRunner
I have tested an early demo of GeneRunner, and a demo of VectorNTI 2.0.
I have also received information about DNASIS in the mail.
I would like to receive some responses from people who own any of these (or
other) programs.
So far, I was impressed by DNASIS, but the price is high, and I don't like the
idea of a hardware key. This will make it difficult to run the program on my
home machine if I want to do some work at home. VectorNTI seems very nice,
but lacks many features, such as alignments, protein analysis, etc.
Please post your responses, since I assume that other people will be
interested in this discussion.
Thanks for any input
